I on the edge about the current barrel proof but I am looking forward to the rye release.

I would include their wheated bourbons as very good but the others I am with you on that and the rye whiskies.

I bailed after the first Col Taylor release but I too am looking forward to this rye whisky.

More overpriced rye from BT. Pardon me for not celebrating.

Any idea when we can expect to see this on the shelves? I've enjoyed the EH Taylors thus far, maybe I'm the fool being parted from his money, but I've enjoyed seeing the new stuff every couple of months. Its hard to wait for the fall to get here.

Went on the BT tour yesterday and actually saw this being loaded off the fork trucks, so it won't be long.

I'm guessing this will be a really good rye, but it will be disconcerting if it is in the $80-$90 range that the EH Taylor's have been in my area.

I'm thinking watered down Thomas H. Handy under a different label? And at a similarly high price point. Hmmm.

I know what you mean but I am hoping it isn't.
Handy at barrel proof is good but at 6 1/2 years old it is young.
This new Taylor rye is 100 proof but if it is at least 10 years old then I'll pay the price.

Ah, I was under the impression that THH was around the 10yo mark. In the BT family line of rye, I thought Baby Saz was around 6 (even after removing the age statement), THH was 10ish and Saz 18 was, well, Saz 18yo.

So the next question is, is the EHT Rye from the same mashbill as the THH?
