What Rye are you enjoying Summer 2012?

I put a hurting on some WTR 101 last night. One of those nights where the first bottle I chose hit the spot so I never changed.

I finally emtied out my Thomas H Handy Rye with two small pours and a small ice cube.
Now I have no open rye, I just might open one of my Vintage Rye 23yo's, I'm gonna have to think about it.

Hey Oscar,

What's your opinion of the V23? Seems like most of what I've read here, think its too woody. I know of 2 bottles, hesitant to pull the trigger

[OscarV]

I haven't gotten to it yet.
From all the reviews I have read about it the wood is in relativly check.
The 21 was a bit to hot for me.
What are the prices that you saw?

[Phil T]

$93..good/ bad? Damn, I always forget about the minimum character thingy

Well depending on if you have this month's rent paid I'd get one.

I never worry about paying the rent, I own a car. I can sleep in the car, I can't drive my house

I started with some THH, now some baby Saz. Are these guys related?

Enjoying healthy pours from bottles of BMH 23yr Rye and Vintage 21 Rye. Simply fantastic whiskeys. I think I would rank these in the top 5 of the 60 or so bourbons/ryes I've tried.

I'm surprised at how much BMH 23 my fellow forum members have bunkered! I picked up about 6 bottles over the last year and have really enjoyed it. It is VERY woody (but not too much for me). The Vintage 23 is nowhere near as woody as the BMH, at least in my experience. I know forum members generally prefer the Vintage 21 but I've never seen it in the wild. For what it's worth, I've found that vatting the BMH 23 or Vintage 23 with Saz 18 yields great results.

As for the rye I'm "enjoying" it's Bourye (if that counts). Not really enjoying it, though. Still hoping it will open up or that I'll "get" it.
