Jono Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 Came across these reviews of both the Lion's Pride Rye and Lion's Pride Dark Ryehttp://whiskyisrael.co.il/2010/12/30/tasting-lions-pride-rye-whiskeys/If the price is right they appear interesting...would like a taste test.

White Dog Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Take a pass, Jono. I've had 'em both. That reviewer must not have ever tried real Rye Whiskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 That is disappointing....were they "bad" or just mediocre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Dog Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Really yeasty and malty tasting in an underaged way. The 80pr also didn't help. If tasted blind, I would have said, "Under-aged micro!" The retail in Wisconsin is $50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 Probably not much expectation from the new bourbon coming out 12/5..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtisc84 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I saw the Lions Pride Rye on the shelf today, but I passed it up. It's making the rounds for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
