Breakout Premium Rye

My $$ says... Don't waste a dollar on this sh$t

[mrviognier]

Agreed. Tasted it on my last trip to Boston. Pretty underwhelmed.

This is Dickel juice.

Also, a little side note Dickel will be releasing a rye later on this year.

You mean the rye is from Dickel? I had heard they were making rye. Should be interesting.

The one and only time I've ever bought Dickel was a bottle of 12 year old, a couple of years ago when it returned to the market after an absence. I was a bit put off by it; it had an overwhelming aroma and flavor of undiluted brewer's yeast. If that profile is in their rye, it should be a dead giveaway.

Saw it at the LS next to Costco. They had it in the premium cabinet, must not have enough to get normal shelf space.
Tried it and like it! The Dickel taste is there. Plus a little different smell and feel. I like Dickel for an inexpensive whisky.
My brother lives in Winchester TN, and drives past JD sometimes. But he has been buying Dickel for the last 30+ years. I have toured both. But th JD tour is much more refined. At least it was back in the 80's.
I may try the rye, but definately will pick up another Jailers. Good stuff for 25.00.

I drank all of the rye, and enjoyed every drop. I will be getting more.

Thanks! I am nosy. Amazing how He puts on that cap which you can tell he never wears and acts like he is making whiskey. And looks like that bottle said 116 proof. I just wonder if that was just off the beer still?
