Trey Manthey Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Earlier tonight I was introducing my neighbor/local Republic National exec (one of the big national distributors) to some of the more exotic offerings from High West. He noticed a bottle in my cabinet and mentioned they had just picked up the brand. We tried Midwinter Dram, 21 year rye, and 16 year rye. Hopefully this will convince him to make sure we get a decent allocation of Midwinter this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 SAOS cask strength. Because you need a strong drink to kick off a 11 day weekend. :grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Couple fingers of Lot 40. Such a funky whiskey - love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bourbonfoot Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Some recently purchased Lot 40. Agree with Daryll above, this is a lot of fun(ky). It almost reminds me of an old fashioned on its own. It shows it's age, but I feel like it covers up the youth a bit better than the Willett 2 yr.

Old Dusty Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 yes, good question. I should have paid more attention, 'cuz it was quite good.maybe some guidelines3 parts rye1 part vermouth1.5-2 parts Luxardo, probably 1.5several dashes of orange bitters, I'm positive of this4 cherries, again quite sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtoys Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 they're all pretty similar, I guess Gibson's Steakhouse in Chicago does a "Rush St. Manhattan" that I remember like TSA 3-1-1 it's 3 parts bourbon (Woodford at Gibson's), 1 part sweet vermouth and 1 part Cherry Heering, probably with some bitters I've used Woodford Double Oaked as well as other bourbons and also sub'ed Cherry Marnier for the Heering. another I had at Bouchon in Yountville, CA (Napa valley) uses Nocino, a walnut liqueur instead of the cherry stuff--quite good, too.

smokinjoe Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Angels Envy Rye and an AF Best Seller after a great Sunday evening dinner. I do love this rye. It's not an everdayer, but is perfect at times like this. :yum: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunnelTiger Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 emptied a baby Saz and opened up a RITTBIB. I really enjoy both of these ryes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Polished off a SAOS CS. I ended up having a love/hate relationship with this bottle. Like a child, it wasn't always doing exactly what I wanted it to, but then sometimes it would hit me just right and provide some great moments of satisfaction.

BonVivant84 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 High West rendezvous Rye. First sip wAs a bit bitter / medicine hit to it but after a few minutes it dissipated and a little ice brought out some of the oak. Feel like all the spice is at the very end. Good. Not totally sure if I would buy it again. Gonna see how the last half goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCWoody Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I found this interesting about the Willett that I'm drinking. I bought this today and noticed the sticker on the back that said distilled and Indiana. I have never bought one that had the sticker on it before.
