I had not had it for about 2 years but decided to try it again. Man this is amazing stuff! Very complex..love the chocolate notes. My question is, it claims to be a Pennsylvania style rye. How accurate is that claim?

Today I bought a Jefferson's 10 year rye, a baby Saz and found my first WTR 101. Also picked up my first bottle of Dickel rye. Passed on many overpriced bottles of HW21 and a Hirsch 25.

A Brief Foray into Whiskey Politics
By Reid Cherlin

"..."What are your thoughts then," I asked, springing my trap, "about the rising popularity of rye whiskey?"

Boom.

"You people," Samuels huffed, shaking his head. "All the press cares about is 'what's next.'" He put his hand against my elbow, and for just a moment, in the midst of his post-partisan cocktail party for the Cocktail Party, he let loose his inner partisan. "Rye," he said firmly, "is a back-of-the-palate taste. Back-of-the-palate stuff has never been appealing to Americans. And that's a fact."

Never been appealing to Americans? Wow.
Well, no MM Rye then....and explains the use of wheat rather than any rye.

"Maker's Mark is unusual in that no rye is used as part of the mash. Instead red winter wheat is used, along with corn (the predominant grain) and malted barley." ]]> American Rye Whiskey Jono http://www.straightbourbon.com/forums/showthread.php?19916-Bill-Samuels-on-rye http://www.straightbourbon.com/forums/showthread.php?19890-Five-Fathers-Pure-Rye-Malt-Whiskey&goto=newpost Mon, 22 Apr 2013 23:59:04 GMT New rye from Pogue moving next month. 375ml worth of 100% malted rye.

Seems to be popping up a bit in the cocktail world. It's infused (not just oils) with saffron, orange peel and other odds and ends. 90 proof but source and mashbill seem to be a bit of a mystery still. ]]> American Rye Whiskey tanstaafl2 http://www.straightbourbon.com/forums/showthread.php?19749-Pow-Wow-quot-Botanical-quot-Rye http://www.straightbourbon.com/forums/showthread.php?19705-Rittenhouse-rye-BIB&goto=newpost Mon, 01 Apr 2013 01:31:59 GMT I think most of us know that the Ritt BIB that's currently on the shelves is Brown-Forman juice in a Heaven Hill bottle, and that soon HH will start using their own juice. Well, I talked to a guy from HH, and if everything went according to plan, they bottled their last batch of B-F Ritt BIB this past week. If you're a curious guy like me, this is an excellent opportunity to see how long it takes for the new stuff to push the old stuff out of the pipeline.





You know, I think it'd be nice if B-F bottled their rye with their own label, but I'm a whiskey lover, not a businessman. ]]> American Rye Whiskey TheNovaMan http://www.straightbourbon.com/forums/showthread.php?19705-Rittenhouse-rye-BIB http://www.straightbourbon.com/forums/showthread.php?19688-Best-Rye-Reviews&goto=newpost Fri, 29 Mar 2013 03:26:56 GMT I'm curious to know what some of you think about the reviews and selection of ryes in this article from "Drink Spirits".

The 6-year-old, 95% rye and 5% malted barley mash bill, is a dead giveaway that this is another sourced rye from MGP (formerly LDI). While the thought of a rum finished rye intrigues me, the price of $80 seems steep for a relatively young 100 proofer. ]]> American Rye Whiskey LostBottle http://www.straightbourbon.com/forums/showthread.php?19404-Angel-s-Envy-Rye http://www.straightbourbon.com/forums/showthread.php?19341-Few-Spirits-Rye&goto=newpost Mon, 25 Feb 2013 02:28:34 GMT Picked up a bottle at Cask last week $50 to give it a try. 93 proof, with a hand-signed label. age statement of "less than 4 years" had to chuckle at that one. it does taste young.
