E.H. Taylor Straight Rye Whiskey

[buffdaddy]

If you aren't familiar with great rye whiskey, it might be time to get acquainted with one of the best, E.H. Taylor Straight Rye Whiskey ($70). Rye Whiskey has seen a resurgence of late, after mostly disappearing after Prohibition. Taylor Rye is made by the same folks who bring you the fantastic Sazerac Rye, but is a totally different recipe. One thing that is not different however, is the high quality it's produced with, and the satisfying taste it yields. A quick whiff brings notes of vanilla, black pepper and dark sugars. Of course the taste meets our standards as well, packing a spicy punch with a satisfying dry finish.

This looks like something worth trying. Typically for booze at this price level, I tend to try it at a bar/restaurant first.

Dave, have you tried this yet? What's your take?

No not yet, but it does look pretty good.

I've got a bottle of it. I think it's good but not worth the price. I'm glad I tried it but I wouldn't buy it again.

I find a high rye bourbon like Four Roses Single Barrel actually has more complexity and is a lot less expensive.

The Colonel Taylor's tend to be overpriced, I have been constantly told by the bourbon socialists/buyers at liquor stores in Ky, "it's ok but I would recommend this for the money".
