BFerguson Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 AE rye. It's dessert-y goodness went quite well with the tunnel of fudge cake the misses made yesterday. Good rye and great cake!B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Enjoyed a nice bourbon tasting today followed by some nice pours of Willett WFE 8-Yr bourbon and a little FR SmB. Ending the night with a small taste of Willett WFE 4-Yr rye. Nice spicy flavor with a mild grassy taste. Really nice rye. I would encourage anyone who has not tried it to give it a go. It is an LDI rye but the proof (110) adds to the flavor and experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphanumeric Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Santa made his way into my lone bottle of Saz last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgins Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Finished off a bottle of Saz 18 with the family over Christmas, and put a pretty decent dent in a bottle of Baby Saz. The Baby Saz is still one of my favorites but it seems a bit younger than it used to be, with heavier grainy notes. May have to try a SBS with an older bottle from the bunker.

ratcheer Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Yay! The Alabama ABC stores are now carrying all the ingredients for the Sazerac Cocktail. It may just be a Christmas promotion, though. Yesterday, I bought bottles of Sazerac Rye, Herbsaint liqueur, and Peychaud's bitters. I had a Sazerac Cocktail (without the sugar) last evening. Yum!Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigar Dan Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I stopped at an extremely well stocked whiskey bar last night before meeting my brother and some friends for a late dinner. After looking over the whiskey menu, I was starting to think that I was going to leave without getting anything. The price had gone up significantly since I had been there last year. (PVW20 had gone from $23 to $60, BTAC had gone from $17 to $40). Anyway, I flipped to the rye section and when I spotted Hirsch 21 rye for $17, I knew I had a winner. I followed that with a taste of Ritt 23. It was my first time to taste either. Both were outstanding pours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go without sugar, or if I'm feeling particularly lazy I use a 1/4 tsp of agave syrup ... I might have to make myself one to remind me of my "roots" and kick off the weekend properly - cheers! :grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eth3rStrik3r Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Got a bottle of Knob Creek rye for Christmas. I am a huge fan of Wild Turkey Rye(back when it was 101 proof), Bulleit Rye, and Rittenhouse BiB. Not a big fan of the Knob Creek Rye...it just tastes off. Perhaps its my bottle, but as an 100 proof whiskey, it tastes hotter than most that I have had in the 100-120+ range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
