smokinjoe Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 It seems many of our threads are going like this:Chung Mee: Opium is my business. The bridge mean more traffic. More traffic mean more money. More money mean more power. Lawrence Bourne III: Yeah, well, before I commit any of that to memory, would there be anything in this for me? Chung Mee: Speed is important in business. Time is money. Lawrence Bourne III: You said opium was money. Chung Mee: Money is Money. Lawrence Bourne III: Well then, what is time again?

clingman71 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Stopped at my local store today, WT RYE 81, damn. I've been picking up 1-2 bottles of 101 per week since the news broke. Left a single bottle of 101 behind Sat, I knew it was a mistake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say:lol: but you should read this thread to get some opinions on the 101 vs the RR. My notes are on page 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoch Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 One of the stores I stopped in yesterday had the new 81 @ ~$20, the 101 had been marked up to ~$30 and the Baby Saz was near $40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 One reason I never bought the WT 101 rye as often as I could have is price. In Indiana, even when regular WT 101 can be found on sale sometimes for around $18, the rye right next to it would allways be $25+ (never any sale). As a matter of fact, just the other day I passes up a fully stocked shelf of WT 101 rye. I didn't buy a single one, but for $5 less, I was very happy to take home some Rittenhouse BIB.

clingman71 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Picked up 2 more 101s tonight.They had 6-8 more on the shelf. Any Dayton,OH area SBers interested, pm me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoMobourbon Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Whether she's gone forever or becoming a woman I can't recognize, it's sad to think of what has become of the rye which took my rye virginity. Anyway, I too am in the awkward position in which the 101 has disappeared but the 81 has not yet arrived. No fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_elliott Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I tried a sample of this today at the distillery and it tasted like you took a glass of WT rye and dumped a bunch of water in it. It was awful I have no idea what WT was thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bad_scientist Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Well, isn't that what it is? Oh no, it's very, very special! It has a little bit of 5-year rye in there, as well, making it 'the oldest-aged major Rye whiskey in its category". That must have a list of qualifiers that would make a lawyer shake his/her head in admiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 I was hanging with OscarV last Saturday and he handed me a glencairn with a mysterious straw-colored liqour in it. "Try this and tell me what kind of whiskey this is." I tried it. "Tastes like a weak Irish Whiskey," I said, "no flavor at all really." "It's Wild Turkey Rye 81 proof," he replied. "God, that's terrible," I said. "It is," said Oscar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoshani Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I'm terrified to go through the Binny's network (really the only place where WT Rye has been available) to see if they have any 101 left. I'm nursing my last bottle, and looking forward to the upcoming Knob Creek Rye, which will be 100 proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethangsmith Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Stopped down in Maryland today and found a bottle of the 81 Rye. All I will say- it truly is as bad as you are imagining it to be. It has little flavor or color and is thin and disgusting. I'm glad I stocked up on 101 rye. This is going to be a long few years until the 101 rye is back in production.......
