Col. E.H. Taylor Straight Rye

[Young Blacksmith]

All the whistlepig I've seen is priced at $70 - $75, at least as much as the CEHT's or more.

Is this a Kentucky Straight Rye?

that's the first thing I thought of too, but according to the COLA it's "Distilled, aged and bottled by Old Fashioned Copper Distillery, Frankfort, KY, DSP-113."

I wonder what the ratio of rye to malt is.

Buffalo Trace made it in Frankfort.

One good thing about kissing Wisconsin ass is that you don't have to worry about missing.

It's too bad they won't put an age statement on it, even if it's only 4 years old. At that price, I don't think it's unfair for me to ask for a little transparency.

^^^ This makes me chuckle.

While I do, seriously, agree with you - and it's not unfair to ask, but it's not gonna happen. Most of these specialty labels make their $$$ in mystique. Hell, Pappy 23 is over $200 retail, and you get no genuine transparency there!

Sources on virtually anything from KBD - from $30 Willets to $250 Ryes (25 yr CS) is still unknown...

We should be allowed to know - but...

Based on BT announcement, I'm betting it is Barton rye and it will be very good.

Oh, I know....

the Willets are a funny example. Often we know the age but not the provenance. Except for the young "made in Indiana" ryes, of course, which are obviously LDI. With the Taylor, I guess we get to know the provenance more or less, but not the age.

I guess it has to be one or the other

Very nice detective. Here's hoping...
