I just finished my first bottle of rye, Wild Turkey 101. I really enjoyed it, a lot! However, I want to try another before going back to WT. Should I go with Russell's Reserve or Baby Saz? I don't want to spend more right now and that is pretty much what is available to me locally. I know RR is Wild Turkey branded so is there that much of a difference?
Thanks for the help.
Baby Saz or Rittenhouse, and don't shy away from Jim Beam Rye. It's the best-selling rye in the country by a long shot.
Definitely go for the Baby Saz.
I'm fond of both the Rittenhouse and the Baby Saz, too.Quote:

For a young artisan rye I love Catoctin Creek Roundstone. Rittenhouse and Saz are good though. Don't care for the Beam stuff. Still has the Beam yeast flavor.
Baby Saz won't disappoint!
If you want to try a "bourbon drinker's rye", as Jason Pyle rightly calls it, bet $20 on Rittenhouse BIB and you will not be disappointed. It's pecan pie in a bottle.
