The E.H. Taylor lineup is one of my favorite lines from Buffalo Trace. I tend to prefer bourbon over rye whiskey, but recently have been trying more rye whiskey than usual. E.H. Taylor Straight Rye is definitely a nice rye to try if you can find it at a reasonable price. I was able to pick up a bottle at just slightly over retail and think it is worth a pickup if you can find it near retail. However, I think I would avoid this one if you can only find it at the market average that wine-searcher.com shows.
