Old Dusty Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Handy Sazerac '12 followed by VWFRR '12. 2012 was a good year for rye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theglobalguy Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Healthy pour of Collingwood 21. I initially thought the 90 proof was too low....not so. Wish I had bought more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAtomic Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Great notes Mr A. I just have to find a bottle of this.Very happy to provide tasting notes. And there's one store nearby that had a bottle the last time I checked. When I'm there next, I'll take a look for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 WFE 25 yr rye and their new 2 yr rye. Both tasted at the gift shop after a tour. Though young, I thought the 2 yr was quite nice and pleasurable. Didn't have enough time with the 25yr but my brother in law bought a bottle to bring over tonight to celebrate the parents in law 50yr wedding anniv so I will get a good taste tonight.

BAO Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Leopold mrye tasting notes. Yes on the redbreast on the nose. Lots of raisins, hint of chocolate. Slight young grain flavor. Finish is not young. Decent rye spice, and some heavy malt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MauiSon Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Last big pour of a WFE 5yo. Still has the effervescence and mint, but less pine than the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BootsOnTheGround Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 March, 2014 bottling of Mich 10 rye.Has the same nose-to-palate disconnect that Mich 10 bourbon does. If I didn't know any better and had saved more of the 10 yr bourbon, I'd vat the two and see if they complement or if it's really is like dividing by zero. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveOfAtl Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Handy with a cube. Haven't had any rye in a long while and this one is making me wonder why. Really good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HD 335 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Just cracked opened a Willett FE 2 year up and had a good sized pour. Not bad for a 2 year and enjoyed the flavors, but I wish I sampled this instead of spending the $48 for the whole bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to finding this one, but expecting it closer to $35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunnelTiger Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 Had the last pours of some delicious CETHR last night. I do like it but at $79 a bottle it may be awhile before I pick up another.Then again I may get one next week if the mood hits me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite comforting knowing that you don't always have to defend self imposed lines in the sand , ain't it ? :toast: I do want to add that I think pricing on that bottle is $10 cheaper down here. Pick up a coupla bottles and it more than pays for the gas in the Hog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbroo5880i Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) I saw it in Indy for the first time yesterday. It was $39.99. I thought that was a little high. It was sitting next to bottles of WFE 4 year which were also $39.99. While I like to try new things, I also like to feel like I am getting a good value. Of course, Bone Snapper is $29.99 and it is close to 2 years old I believe. I like it. I do like that the WFE 2 year is a blend. I would hope that would help balance out some of the rough edges. I suspect I will buy one at some point. Of course, I am still trying to get over the fact that the 4 year is $39.99 when last fall it was $31.99.

TunnelTiger Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Had my first pours of Angels Envy Rye last night. Different, unique, and I like it.I won't buy another though. Just priced too high for what it is.I am glad I bought a bottle and tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrey r Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Had my first pours of Angels Envy Rye last night. Different, unique, and I like it.I won't buy another though. Just priced too high for what it is.I am glad I bought a bottle and tried it.Glad you were able to try the AE rye. Here are a few points about the AE rye that I might add. First, let it get some airtime, as it opens up nicely. Second, don't be wary of adding a bit of water to a pour, as IMO, it opens up the pour nicely, and it lessens some of the sweeter notes making it a bit more balanced. Third, while I think it is a really solid rye in general, this is not quite its peak time of year to shine IMO. To me, it is a whiskey that screams fall and winter, and I think you'll appreciate it more in that context. And keep an open mind to picking up another. It is not a whiskey I reach for often, especially this time of year, but I will generally have a bottle open, and a backup in the bunker. Just my .02 cents.
