[@bradg23]

Just got one for $99.99 today!!

[@mattspalace]

Any comments about how it compares to JDSBBP Rye?

[@jacksmith2315]

Kinda hard to compare a batch product vs single barrels that all vary quite a bit

[@whisk-e-y_problems9075]

Watch the replay of his live from Oct. 16 😉

[@mattspalace]

@@whisk-e-y_problems9075 I did - I thought the JD would probably be better.

[@35057]

I’ve had the EHT straight rye and Jb SBBP Rye and that JD bottle I had was really grassy and offPutting. (And I’m loving what JD is doing lately so I’m not bias) The EHT was much more well rounded.

[@MrMoTheMan]

Thank you for the review. The regular E H Taylor Rye is a favorite of mine…. This one should also prove worthy!

[@EZ-rs5zv]

Agree with you 100% as usual! Thanks as always for an excellent and honest review!

[@KMNMB14]

Great descriptions of each! Definitely understand the difference you’re referring to in fruit driven / natural tasting sweetness vs confectioner’s sugar / artificial dessert like sweetness. Nice comparison for these two lines.

[@ConnoisseurCigar]

Great review… agreed on the Handy 👍🏾

[@orion10x]

Just got one for $73 today in Houston.

[@TheDrSpEd]

Thanks for the details and review!

[@uneCENT]

I can't believe this bottle is more than 320 on the secondary That's crazy people are insane

[@mikehaliday8302]

Just scored TWO for $166! SNATCH!!! One to busk and one to bunker!

[@matthewborg1792]

Never even knew this was a thing. Thanks for the review.

[@kobaltics]

This is certainly the first I’ve heard of it, but I suppose that doesn’t matter because I’ll never see it.

[@cuba1266]

That’s a great idea to put the cost at the beginning of the video. As soon as you said prize cya!

[@35057]

My buddy gave me a sample of The EHT Straight Rye. “I’m not gonna oversell it… but it changes you.” 🤤🤤🥺🤯

[@drgallup]

Just get the A Overholt Straight Rye Whiskey Monongagela Mash if you want that mashbill. Not cask strength but $40 all day long.

[@whisk-e-y_problems9075]

Is it confirmed that EHT rye uses the 80/20 rye/malt mashbill? I know that's the one Overholt uses for Monongahela Mash Rye.

[@Willy_D_Williams]

Side note. What's up with eht warehouse c? Saw one for 3k in Washington state this spring.

[@TheMashandDrum]

My least favorite eht. Not worth it

[@100puremustard5]

I could have bought this for the low low price of............. wait for it............. $1,199 😂 smFh 😂😂😂

[@definitiveenergy1878]

Just picked up a bottle tonight, haven't cracked it. Have a new Stagg already opened...Mine was got at MSRP $70.00, to know that it might be a $1k bottle on the secondary makes me want to hide it in the cellar and stick with the JDSBPF Rye picks.

[@michaelarsers9304]

Your description of the Handy sounds fantastic. Can you recommend a rye that is actually available on the shelf that would be similar?

[@TheMashandDrum]

@@michaelarsers9304 sagamore 8 or 9 year

[@jasellsrealtygroup_boston]

Jason, really grateful review. Appreciate you

[@MrTofrunktoduck]

Very lucky I was blessed with one for one fifty. 😊 need a back up before i open it

[@draganrunic8346]

Great review,where can I get Thomas H Handy for 409$?

[@kirklandeche937]

Yeah, I'm all over it! Hype city, and FOMO net. I know that I'm supposed to be clamoring these offerings but, I'm sorry, I just can't, and won't do it! I hope that anyone who does find it enjoys it but, I ain't wasting my time! Great show as always! Cheers!

[@mbmaltman]

Sings… “never gonna get it, never gonna geddit….” 😂

[@DoubleTap1988]

I found a bottle. Have connections at the liquor store. 😄

[@VictorManuelPelaezCuevas]

You can always get it if you're willing to pay those ridiculous prices

[@jakedobbs9962]

Toasted barrel pappy finish… I’m dead 😂 😂

[@krisstivers]

Any idea why EH Taylor Straight Rye has two DSP numbers on the bottle? I’ve heard it’s not actually distilled by Buffalo Trace. Some say it’s actually Barton juice.

[@eafarrar]

Barton has a 95/5, don't they?

[@Juice8g]

I noticed that too. The first release was just one dsp. The BP Rye has one dsp. Weird.

[@TheMashandDrum]

Yes its distilled by Barton I believe.

[@motohead077]

To be Bottled in Bond, doesn't it have to be distilled, aged & bottled by the same distillery in the same state?

[@eafarrar]

@@motohead077 This one's also barrel proof, so BiB doesn't apply. But for the regular straight rye, as long as it's distilled at one distillery in one distilling season and aged in a bonded warehouse, I don't think the physical location of the aging and bottling matter.

[@993C2S]

Damn. So expensive. I'd pay $150 for a 1.5 oz pour. Going to Louisville on Thursday. Will look for it.

[@thebigdubnetwork]

Sound delicious. Can't wait to find one at MSRP. I don't have to have Batch 1.

[@Whiskeytequilafridayspodcast]

Great video as always. Love your tasting notes! I’m a true rye guy but it’s just too bad this bottle will be all bought up from people that don’t even appreciate rye.

[@dbltime]

Great! Another bottle that I will never see and if I did I would not pay the jacked up price! 🤣

[@travisrobeson306]

Oh snap!!! Another Pokemon to chase!!!

[@andrewousley8635]

That the BT way!!😂

[@tracejames8193]

Handy blows the eh Taylor BP rye out of the water. Got a major grassy funky oak and butterscotch note that just overwhelmed the whole thing

[@N.M.T.K]

I got it for $200 I still haven't opened it yet. I will for the holidays.

[@2smparker2]

Excellent review! Thx!

[@louiejones4092]

I'll never pay secondary price for any whiskey. If I get lucky by the liquor gods and find in my local abc store I'll definitely grab it up but as far as paying 4,5,6 hundred plus for a bottle hell no I ain't doing it lol.

[@johnferron3709]

completely agree

[@louiejones4092]

@johnferron3709 I'd rather spend that kind of money on 556 and 9mm ammo lol 😆 😂 🤣

[@rsr3162000]

I'm the same. Don't get why anyone pays secondary.

[@yanksrule311]

Secondary is for suckers.

[@SHHDADDYSWORKN]

I dont think anything is really worth secondary. But thats just me.

[@Wm_Gemmell]

Jason - Just out of curiosity, what made you stop tasting videos of Scotch and other world whiskies? Just the viewership on those videos, or you’ve just grown toward American whisky more?

[@grouchomarx9142]

How the hell do you get grapes or pears.. Me, wife, my son got atomic fireball. Super cinnamon.. Maybe Covid change our taste buds lol

[@Xnick21]

I’d hope this would turn into an annual release and slot in a bit cheaper on secondary than the EHTBP bourbon at around $300-350. But I guess not. $1200 is eye watering.

[@ironmantran]

most i pay 77.99 $USD

[@993C2S]

Nah. Your chance of getting hit by lightning is much much higher

[@ironmantran]

@@993C2S (( sorry Friend, u already accepted defeat ! hehe ))

[@bcp5296d]

Handy and saz 18 are both insanely candy sweet. I am glad to see the EHT is not that sweet

[@zoolander221]

I would do stuff for one these, hey now. Cheers

[@briantoner8145]

Good review! Lots of decent eyes out there.

[@hunterstutz]

J. Is this not the same mash as eht straight rye? If it’s not this is really weird as it wouldn’t follow the offering like the bourbon eht small, sib and BP.

[@TheMashandDrum]

@@hunterstutz yes. Mentioned that. Same mashbill. Only mashbill they use for this one product

[@nickp5511]

Nice review! I’ll stick with the Sagamore’s, TH Handy, Little Book Chapter 8, etc.

[@wizzer88]

most of the liquor stores around OC california, it's $400-600. I'm not doing it. other things I can drink

[@jasellsrealtygroup_boston]

What happened to the Mets in Game 1!!!! Come on boys!

[@Juice8g]

My EHT Rye BIB has two DSP’s on the label. My EHT BP Rye just has one DSP…… any info on this? Curious….🤔

[@stuartrollings602]

Love the Col but have never paid more than retail! Just lucky I guess!

[@bourbonbill]

I’m betting sagamore 9yr smokes this

[@TMExtremeOutdoor]

Dang I wish I could get one might have to be a skip for me. Here in PNW I rarely see those bottles and if you do the price is ridiculous and we have to pay 25% extra tax.

[@boswineguy5461]

Nice one!

[@bagadonuts78]

Well well well look at who's gone tater. You laughed in my face when I said this was my most looked forward to bottle of 2022 at TIMBP Live. Colonel Taylor Underpants edition I believe you said!! Of course it took 2 years for them to actually release it. 😂😂 Cheers Jason

[@TheMashandDrum]

LOL. Still not worth it.

[@BryanSmith-it6tg]

EH Taylor Single Barrel is the best juice

[@yanksrule311]

Bend over and say ahhhh

[@Tds-qx4wh]

Hi Jason, I love your reviews, but the Value evaluation should NEVER be at MSRP if as you mention, you have a much better chance of being struck by lightening that getting the item at MSRP. Thanks!

[@TheMashandDrum]

@@Tds-qx4wh but IMO...I rather say that because I don't think it's worth the ridiculous markup. That's why I say that. Folks who want to overpay or sell it above can think it's worth that much. But most value a bottle before tasting it. Once I taste it, my value is the true value I think it's worth even though people will over pay or sell it for more than that. This bottle was a huge letdown.

[@K0okyKats]

adda drippa whaddah

[@yanksrule311]

I’m sure that will be filling shelves for MSRP. Can’t wait to get multiple bottles for cheap. 👍

[@michelekephart3179]

Cheers

[@eafarrar]

Is this going to be a one-off, or yearly?

[@TheMashandDrum]

One off

[@jasonczfan8658]

I can't even find the regular rye at a reasonable price lol.

[@GeoffreyMiller-u1h]

Really want one to drink. Great review! …and, when’s the review of that Parker’s 14yr coming?

[@TheMashandDrum]

Already did that one. Check out my first unboxing video

[@geno816]

I want this. And Im sad that I wont get it unless I pay 2ndary. And thats not gonna happen

[@TheBloody81]

Since I would be drinking it, best believe I'd buy it at MSRP, but max I'd pay $100. Great review!

[@christopherhuynh9027]

Stil one of my unicorns I'm trying to find at SRP

@@colear3 i was gonna say! LOL some people don't even know it's existence

[@jasonbaily1707]

Insane

[@TheKo88]

Is it better than Little Book 8? Probably not 😂

[@jcc1116]

yea like 97% of us will never see it

[@nateduncan7089]

I heard this bottle was only a myth. That said The standard EH Rye is massively overhyped and I would rather have a Sagamore pick or even a bottle of Pikesville over the regular EH Rye. Not that I will find it on the shelves, but maybe I can grab a pour at a bar somewhere.

[@Brewdiver82]

Jd sbbp rye beats the shit out of this for 65 lol

[@AlecS94]

I got one for 160 after tax this week, I can’t decide if I should keep it or try to trade for multiple bottles I haven’t tried yet.

[@RandalErickson-hb5vr]

I have to give credit to Buffalo trace on keeping their pricing reasonable compared to other distillers. Its too bad people buy it just to flip. Wish they would just do a lottery

[@LeatherDaddy97]

I mean, this is about in line with most distilleries pricing.

[@RandalErickson-hb5vr]

@@LeatherDaddy97 yep just saying buffalo trace could charge way more retail if they wanted to and still sell everything. WT has a knack for charging outlandish retail prices o many of their special releases

[@LeatherDaddy97]

@@RandalErickson-hb5vr yeah wt stuff has gone way up, although ive always had the impression that was more camparis doing

[@eafarrar]

What. I didn't even know this was a thing...?

[@DMBVR4]

4 Grain nose is top notch, palate is vanilla as hell. Not vanilla flavor, I mean vanilla as in boring af.

[@jmartinez4460]

I can guarantee it’s not worth secondary even before watching. But I’m sure it will get secondary because it’s from Buffalo Trace

[@Pecuru3-zd5oh]

@mattspalace JDBP Rye would probably spank it. Thomas H Handy BTAC lost to it on another channel.

[@umami0247]

As stated I’ll never see this and I’m okay with that. I don’t hunt anything from BT. Would I like to get a Stagg yes but I’m not going to pay some ridiculous price for it and same with this bottle if someone is willing to buy one of these for 1000+ they need their head examined that’s just stupid.

[@grouchomarx9142]

Had no floral on the nose .. Dark fruit for me...

[@stevenalsbrooks8059]

$76.00.

[@blakeanderson1214]

This industry is a joke at this point. Bunch of rich boys that are suckers for marketing

[@hoobeydoobey1267]

I tasted a friends. Blech! Much better ryes out there.

[@b.stone01]

So many years later I still don’t understand the hype around most BT products. Hard not to imagine a time when all that increased production floods the market and nobody cares about flexing for the gram.

[@mackal]

AFAIK the rye is in the 70%, not sure what, it's not 95-5 like MGP is all I know :P their other rye mashbill is probably like 51% and with some corn.

[@midnitekreapa8372]

Unfortunate I'm going to see this in a Indian liquor store "shrines"😐

[@SatchelBungDaddy]

Nah

[@ikkiwikki]

Sounds amazing. I'd pay $200 for it, but I doubt I will ever get the chance.

[@TheMNbassHunter]

I really am not a fan of product labeling if it doesn't mean anything. Was this stuff really distilled at Barton??? That's kinda B.S. to me. There should be some expectation that if a person is buying EH Taylor, they're getting Buffalo Trace distillate. That's like buying a Ford just to find out the only thing Ford are the decals and all the guts are GM. Not saying the GM guts are bad, but it's bait and switch, if you ask me.

[@BigTrevTheViking]

I paid $249 for one today. not a great price but not terrible I guess

[@1882dmac]

If you getting Handy for $400 let me know. In California that will not happen. Seen it at the cheapest for $699.

[@LeatherDaddy97]

Sounds pretty good. If i see it under 90 ill probably bite
