brettckeen Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Last night started with Old Overholt, then Beam Rye with old label, baby saz, wt101 rye, and finally the willet 5yr single barrel rye. The willet reigned supreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grain Belt Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I tried Knob Creek rye for the first time. It is definitely the most "bourbon-like" rye I have had. It was good but I much prefer Sazerac or Willet 5 year old because of the full rye flavor. I did switch gears with the Knob Creek rye and put it in a perfect Manhattan. That is how the rest of the bottle is going to go away. It was very good in that capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFerguson Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 RR rye. Good, but not something I will be replenishing anytime soon. It's light drinking the equivalent of light beer, or light rye in this case. the rye is there, but only just a little.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sob0728 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 We did a blind rye tasting a week or so ago with Ritt Bib, High West 21, Handy 2011, Willett 4 year, and High West Double Rye. The winners were the Handy and the Willett 4 year. HW 21 came in third. The other HW and Ritt bib were the bottom. I was surprised how well the Willett did in that group. I will have to put it up against the Saz 18 when I get those two bottles in the same place at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wryguy Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Received some samples at the beginning of the week from a fellow Sber (you know who you are, many thanks!), and sat down to them tonight for some head to head tasting. It was a treat to get my nose in, and my lips on, this beautiful juice: Hirsch 21 and Vintage 21 ryes. Similar ages, both bottled by KBD, but two very different beasts. I'm going to keep at tasting them for now, and revisit them one more time before I post some tasting notes, but the long and short is, nothing makes me happier than some seriously aged rye, and tonight is no exception!

I love that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
