Meader's son, John is a nurseryman and he would have the true Reliance. Though I don't believe he sells anything by mail. Can you verify that Heron?

Originally, some folks propagated Reliance from seed. These various trees have been
propagated by budding and sold as Reliance. It has been said. Beware. Meader made a
good peach, but the on-going theory that peaches are true to type has created
confusion.
Those with good-tasting Reliance should send budwood to those who do not have good
tasting Reliance. The dieing in cold weather is due to unhardy rootstock, as a
hardy peach on unhardy rootstock in pointless. Own-root your Reliance!

20+ years ago a neighbor planted a peach tree which I assume was a
Reliance-- the only thing being sold in area (s.WI) then. It actually
produced a crop before it winter-killed. Fantastic flavor! Average
silt-loam soil, don't know if & what they might have fertilized with.

Have you considered the idea that not all nursery stock is correctly
labelled? Maybe your poor flavored Reliance is mislabelled.

Reliance - almost no flavor - some
say with enough minerals taste becomes good...

Here in Indiana my Reliance was had
wonderful flavor...

Jerry, what's the mineral profile in the soil in Indiana?...
