Noticed a new Rye Bourbon offering in my local liquor outlet today:

The scant information I can dig up online reveals its a product of Jim Beam, just recently released, no age stated. The bottle is every bit as sleek and "minimalist" as it seems.
I actually walked in to pick up a fresh bottle of Rye, and boy was this tempting. But in the end, I decided not to. First, it was $50, and my short-term financial goals are telling me to avoid dropping that kind of coin on one bottle of liquor, particularly when there are decent alternatives available for less than half the price.
Second, I don't know about you, but I'm not so sure about buying a bottle of rye that looks like that. The bottle looks based on those overpriced, trendy "ultra-premium" vodkas. Its Rye Whiskey, for chrisakes, a spirit that I suspect a majority of Roberto Cavalli drinkers don't even know exists. Why try to make Rye appeal to the club-going crowd?
Anyway, I went with the WT Rye.
Has anyone seen this before or tried it? What does it taste like?
