Pulled this out again as I decided to have a Rye blind tasting. The 3 comps were Michter's Barrel Strength, Rosseville Union Barrel Proof, and EHT Straight Rye. All sampled neat. This one stood out as my favorite hands down tonight. So rich, so full, so flavorful. In company with the other three very highly appreciated ryes, I am upping my 4.25 to 4.5 because of that. It is just damned good rye.

Possibly one of my favorite ryes, especially at the price point and generally easy to find. The flavors dance around for minutes for me.
Would you say that this is a worthy substitute for the Cornerstone rye? It’s a third of the price...
