cowdery Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Made at Tom Moore, the only straight rye they sell, and it's only sold in northern Wisconsin, only in handles. It's not great (young), but not bad. I wonder if by "premium taste through the years" they mean "but not right now." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy38 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I wish I could find it in Northern Wisconsin. It's a wasteland of blended canadian and brandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasH Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Is this recent production. A few years ago, another SB'er and I scoured all the areas of N. Wisconsin we were told it was available via phone and there wasn't any to be found. In 2009, during a tour of Tom Moore, it wasn't even in their display case of currently produced brands!Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy38 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 And I've hunted near Madison last year to no avail. I have a friend who lives just north of there and I've hunted when I visit him every 4th of July. I don't think I saw any Fleischmann's rye.I'll need to look a little more carefully next time.

MikeK Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 My Dad goes out to the OshKosh airshow every august and a few years back I had him grab me a couple 1.75's at a store in that town. $15 a piece. At the time I talked to the WI distributor and was told it only came in plastic 1.75's. It is very distinctive and not bad. I like it. Like Mellow Corn, a must for your whiskey education. Reminds me strongly of bazooka bubble gum. I brought a bottle down to the gazebo the last time I was there, probably a year or 2 back. Still have some in the bunker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotgut Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I've looked around (northern, central, western) WI and haven't found any. I'm really curious, even moreso the more I look and of course read posts here, to try the stuff.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmckenzie Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 When I worked in WI I drank it regularly. It had a juicy fruit gum taste to me. I only ever saw it in handles. Another rye I have only sen up there was stephen foster. It was really a good young rye. Same price range. I think heaven hill makes it. Lot of rye fans there I guess. It is also the only place I have seen 1.75 of jb rye. The store I shopped at really went through it also. It is a big cheap brandy and rum state too.

White Dog Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Wisconsin is a cheap state period. Buy this wonderful Rye now before it, sadly, all starts going into Baby Saz due to the new ownership of Tom Moore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nblair Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 The person who contributed it to the BTOY door prizes is a SB member from Madison. Perhaps he'll reveal where he finds it.I will be driving through Madison over the holidays and would love to find some of this. If anyone knows of a spot where there's some on the shelves, please shoot me a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
