Signal summary

Buffalo Trace announced the May 2026 return of E.H. Taylor Four Grain and Cured Oak. Both are 10-year, 100-proof Bottled-in-Bond releases; local allocation remains highly limited.

What returned

Four Grain combines corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley, while Cured Oak focuses on barrels built from unusually long-seasoned staves.

Release context

Both expressions returned in May through Buffalo Trace and limited retail channels. Four Grain is positioned to continue annually; Cured Oak remains a more singular return.

Availability context

An official relaunch does not imply broad shelf access. Gift-shop rules, state allocation, and current retailer evidence determine whether a bottle is actionable.
