What Rye Are You Drinking? Summer 2013

[GaryT]

Take a close look at the Willett on the far right - even our bottles have bottles!

:slappin:Nice - a preggo Willett

CoK has a very unique taste.

That's what she said. (couldn't help myself, :-))

[TunnelTiger]

Tried both R1 and Jefferson10 last night. Man what difference between the two. The R1 is almost bland without a lot of flavor. On the other hand the Jefferson is complex and full of flavor and does remind me of WP.

The Jeff is also less expensive so it's twice as good. The R1 not bad enough to pour down the drain but at least it's not scotch.

Some Ritt BIB earlier. Glad i stumbled upon it via SB.com, otherwise i would have never taken the chance.

[Phil T]

A short pour of SA TPS 8yr. .125 proof

[Yeti]

Pouring some AE Rye. The bottle has taken a big hit this week. Not for everyone, but damned interesting.

A short pour of SA TPS 8yr. .125 proof

How is that? I've almost ordered a few times this week.

How is that? I've almost ordered a few times this week.

My first impression was its pretty much the same as any of the Willett 4 or 5yr olds that everybody has. But, I tried the SA after having several other pours of bourbon.

I need to revisit with a fresh palate.

I love the Willett straight rye at 4/5 yr 110 proof, so this seemed like a no-brainer step up. But you'd hope it would at least be different, if not better.

Having some Jeff 10yr rye tonight.

I've had their 7yr (and am very loyal to the 4yr Willet) and thought it had a little more flavor to it. The price was close enough to neutral that i'm happy to have both open.

May need to try the TPS 8yr next time i'm up there.

[KySalesRep]

Starting out with some '12 Handy.

[tigerlam92]

Popped open a Jeff rye NCF Canada for a quick try. I do like it.

[GaryT]

Sipping some THH 2011 while my Jeff 10 takes a chill in the freezer (hoping for cloudy goodness!)

[squire]

Good move, bring that sucker down to drinking temperature.

[LCWoody]

Patients is a virtue.....especially when you have a bourbon or rye in the other hand.....

[GaryT]

Apparently the "chill" in the freezer should be minimized to an hour or two - left my Jeff 10 Rye in there overnight, and just trying to scrape the frost off the bottle reminds me of scraping my car windows in Michigan! I'd say it is a bit more cloudy, but nothing like shredded kleenex

[TunnelTiger]

Opened my first bottle of Ritt BIB, this is some mighty fine rye. I need to find some more.

Well the 1 finally hit Lex but I won't be buying a bottle. Not after I saw Ritt prices in WV last weekend. Like $10 cheaper! Will just load up when I'm there from now on.

[TunnelTiger]

Which DSP? 1 or 354? (I think both of them meet the "mighty fine rye" descrip, just curious)

[GaryT]

354, was the only bottle they had and been back twice in the last month with no re-supply :soapbox:

If you make it to the GBS Meeting in a couple weeks, I'm sure a DSP-1 will be there (in fact, I'll probably bring my DSP-1 & DSP-354 for anyone who hasn't done a SBS with them, since both of mine were opened within a week of one another).

[BFerguson]

Started the evening with some Templeton from 2011. Easy drinking to say the least. Diluted LDI to the core.

Moved on to some Baby Saz after that.

Bed shortly.

[AnotherCigarGuy]

Sipping some Jeffy 10, and it goes so well with a cigar.

Shoot. What rye/bourbon doesn't go we'll with a cigar....?

[whiskeyagonzo]

Sipping on some Ritt as I attempt to wind down for the evening.
