Baby Saz, WTR 101, and finishing off with a bit of 6 yr Willetts

Spoken like someone who has never tried Fleischmann's Rye. $18.99 a handle.

Never had the Fleischmann's Rye. If you look hard enough down in Maryland, you can get handles of Pikesville for the same price. What aged and proof is the Fleischmann's and who is the distiller? I don't know much about this rye.

It's an NAS distilled by Barton and only shipped to northern WI. A strange arrangement, but a great, cheap Rye. I like Pikesville, but I do prefer Fleischmann's as it tastes a bit older. And it's 80, but it drinks like an 86.

Opened a PA distilled Overholt... It is a really interesting pour

Always good to find a bottle of Fleishmann's in the WI wild. Smooth, easy drinkin' and dirt cheap!

Enjoying some High West 21 on T's home turf in Utah tonight.

Finished off my bottle of WT 101 Rye. I really like the higher proof.

HW 16 and V 21

gotta give the nod to the HW tonight. A bit smoother and founder in the mouth, the V21 seemed to havea bit more wood astringency than what I remember.

Alberta Premium 30. Love this...

Last night I had a pour of HW Double Rye and followed that up with Ritt BiB. I preferred the HW to the Ritt, and it wasn't close.

This is only the second bottle of Ritt I have had; the first was fantastic, I got a lot of rum-like notes out of it. This current bottle of Ritt has a definite 'earthy' taste that I have only ever experienced in a bottle of Hancock's Presidential Reserve. It seriously tastes like fresh dirt. Has anyone else ever got that kind of taste out of Ritt? Did I just get an off bottle? I am hoping a little air and time in the bottle helps this one out.
