theglobalguy Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 And finished the night with a heavy pour of Wisers Legacy. I wish they hadn't pulled this one out of the USA even ignoring the value, just a great balanced light finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Some Jeff 10 rye. Such a great value - love this whiskey!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunnelTiger Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Slo & Lo Rock & Rye. Been passing this lone bottle for six months, finally gave it a home and it's not going to last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryT Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Slo & Lo Rock & Rye. Been passing this lone bottle for six months, finally gave it a home and it's not going to last long.That is definitely on my shopping list - got to try that at the Sampler (thanks Bruce!) and keep forgetting to pick one up. I know it is intended mostly to be used in cocktails, but that was quite drinkable neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunnelTiger Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 It's very nice neat. I wouldn't even think of using it in cocktails. Just wouldn't have enough umph for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleCBreese Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Had some High West Double Rye. A really interesting pour with lots of gin-botanical flavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanstaafl2 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 It's very nice neat. I wouldn't even think of using it in cocktails. Just wouldn't have enough umph for me.It would be more accurate to say it should be used as a cocktail in a bottle. Pour over a large cube and you are good to go!

smokinjoe Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 There are a number of ryes that really can hit my sweet-spot on any given day. I'm very thankful for what is being done here in the USA, and also in Canada with this type of whiskey. But, as I sip on this Baby Saz right now, I am reminded why it (and its big brother, THH) is my favorite. Wonderfully creamy and interesting. :yum: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Some Ritt BIB. Great flavor, simple, straight forward, and reliable (more than anyone should expect for less than $20 IMHO!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAO Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Slumming it for the night?jealous, which did you prefer?BJust your average whiskey Wednesday at the Twisted Spoke.I preferred the Hirsch, but not by much. Hirsch was surprisingly sweet, with an almost creamy quality in the mouthfeel.The Willett was an incredible spicebomb. Much more aggressive. For what it's worth, both were a few of my favorite ryes I've ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudsky Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Started out with a Sazerac coctail made with Smooth Ambler 8yr Rye barrel proof, then moving on to a glass of SAOC rye on its lovely own...Man this stuff makes a mean coctail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CL Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Before dinner I fixed a Manhattan with Willet 4 yr rye (110 proof), the very sweet Carpano Antica vermouth and doubled down on the Fee Brothers Whiskey Barrel-Aged bitters. I haven't seen a Manhattan that dark before! I wish I could say it was killer, but it was a bit too much. I'll scale back the Antica next time.While watching TV tonight, decided to have some SW WSR from 1992. Delicious stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryT Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Couple ounces of a mingle of Jeff10 and WFER 4yr (honestly not sure why I made a mingle of this before? It ain't bad, but not special either . . . now it's just empty!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
