What Rye Are You Drinking? Autumn 2012

[BFerguson]

Willett 5yr. The 4/5yr products are by far the best LDI/MGP products out there.

Which distillery in PA and what age and proof? I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this.

I wish i could find which distillery, bottle states distilled in PA but all my research tells me it is an ND product distilled in Kentucky.. Guess i have to dig a bit more. It is 86 proof and it is the smoothest rye i have ever drank, my only problem is that i dont have enough of it in the bunker

I have yet to post in this thread. I will make up for that with a little rEye candy; all open/soon to be open.

Nice selection lost. Not a bad one in that bunch, although I've had mixed results with the BMH ryes.

Stephen Foster rye after a few standard 4R1B. Great nightcap, glad I picked up a liter!

Thanks. Regarding the BMH ryes, are you talking specifically about the 18? If so, I agree it could have been better. The 23 is probably my favorite American whiskey, though I can definitley see where it may be too dry for some. This open bottle is from Cask No 1. I have a No 7 and a No 9 bunkered and will be curious to see how much variation there is - I am hopeful they are equally as good.

A pour of Vintage Rye 23yo, neat.
I think I will go to the Vintage Bourbon 17yo next.

Just finished the last pour from a bottle of Baby Saz while watching my Bengals. Love the Baby Saz. Not sure why I still follow the Bengals, though. 46 year old habits are hard to break.

yeah, you pretty much nailed it for me. I think the 18 lacked a bit of depth when compared to others in this range (saz18 & HW16). The 23 did seem a touch woody but in the end I wouldn't kick either out of bed!

Lil pours of Bulleit, Ritt BiB, WT 101, and Rendezvous. Flip that list and you'd have my order of preference.
