HighInTheMtns Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) Nursing my 24 yr Willett 94 and 110 proof samples. Amazing ryes, tons of rye punch and so little wood for 24 yr ryes. My bottles can't get here soon enough!!I had little pours from suspiciously similar samples yesterday. The 94 proof was the winner for me, but both were really great. Thanks to the generous SB.com member who sent these my way!Hmm... I seem to have posted this in the "summer" thread already :drink: Edited September 25, 2013 by HighInTheMtns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMartin42 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Trying to drink down this bottle of Templeton my cousin gave me. "It's from Iowa" he said. Meh. Tastes fine but still leaves a bad taste if you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thiemb Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Drinking some Willett 5 yr rye tonight. Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theglobalguy Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Some Prichard's Rye....i cannot figure out if it's actually theirs or LDI. The website says they distill, the label very carefully does not. Hmm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigar Dan Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Two pours of THH (2011) with a splash of water, and this bottle bites the dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelturtle1 Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 It is interesting, not so fantastic I am going to run out and buy 5 more bottles but also not terrible where it will linger in my bar for 5 yrs and not get finished. I also have difficulty with woody whiskeys and this falls into that category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JVande Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I was about 4 pours into a EWSB 2001 and honestly, it just had a strange flavor on the palate. Almost like cherry flavored cough medicine. Rather than continue to suffer through it, I am in the process of emptying low fill bottles and just so happened to have about 150ml left of an older WT 101 Rye that I decided to dump in. Wow, shockingly it worked! The cough syrup is gone and I am picking up caramel notes now?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillman Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Widow Jane rye. Just two years old and sampled at Maysville, a new excellent whiskey bar in Manhattan. After, James Pepper 15 years old, from MGPI and outstanding. Both quality examples of different ends of the age spectrum.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wryguy Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Gary how does the Pepper 15 compare to VWFRR and Saz18 or Michter's 10? I've passed thus far, but I'm sorely tempted. I've heard it is pretty good, but would love to hear more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillman Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) The Pepper was extremely good. The label claims it was selected to be like a prepro rye and I would agree. It has a rich honeysuckle, resinous taste. It is rather like early BMH rye or Michters 10. I know it costs but considering how little aged rye is in the market it is worth it.Gary Edited September 29, 2013 by Gillman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiskyRI Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Tonight, and last night for that matter, shared some Jefferson 10 Year Rye - Loch and Key selection from Julio's. Very tasty - spicy but rich. Enjoyed it while watching the Pats try to lose a game that they had in the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
