Phil T Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Decided to finish the SA TPS 8yr 121.6 proof that has been open for awhile. Good to the last drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Given the recent onset of full on November weather, I've been into the "Pig" the last two days. Yeah, most likely just getting started, because it looks like it's going to be a long winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerryM Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Finally cracked open the WFE 2yr. Not bad but no better than Ritt or Saz 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleCBreese Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Finally finished off my McKenzie Rye. A really great drink and a good value. I will look to get more, especially if they age it even longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrey r Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Baby Saz and Willett 4 year. Two excellent ryes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleCBreese Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 First taste of the Willett 2-year. Definitely a little harsh around the edges but lots of rye flavor and I was getting a little fresh mint on the finish which I enjoyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 A Midwinter Nights Dram Act 1, paired with a Vegafina Sumum, out by the fire on a balmy 73 degree evening ...:crazy: Mood fire...The MND is a wonderful whiskey. I like the richness that the finishing in port and FO barrels add. Personally though, I think it could use even more finishing time to further mute the mintiness of the base Rondezvous Rye. Maybe, the next Acts will? Just my own musings here, as this is still excellent whiskey, and thoroughly enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 A cold, cold rain on a Friday night leads me to reach for a rye. Figured I'd start off with 3 fingers of the WP and see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Pour of HW Midwinter Night's Dram. I see where Joe is going - I think it would be very interesting if this finished longer, although I think the mintiness that it maintains helps add to that "Christmas in a bottle" profile. Just continue to love what High West is putting out - yummy stuff! :yum: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Love the AMND, but was craving something a bit bolder, so switching gears to some Redemption BP, batch 3. BAM - delivers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, just to figure out how much. :toast: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BourbonJoe Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Had a High West Rendevoux Rye last night. A mixture of 6 and 16 y/o ryes aged in four roses casks. Absolutely stunning whiskey.Joe :usflag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpiz Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Did a SBS with Few Spirits rye and Willett 2 yr 109 proof. The Few was a little more nuanced and herbal, but also had some new-make notes to it. The Willett was surprising good and mature for its age, it'll be cool to see how the subsequent releases transform with additional afe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amg Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Havng a little Rittenhouse BiB since I'm stocked up on it now. Nice, though definitely "bourbon-y" compared to some others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grain Belt Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Sipping on a Glencairn of Bulleit rye with just a few drops of water. It is a beautiful after dinner drink with all the mint in it. My local had it for $19.95 all summer and I wasn't bright enough to grab a case before the price jumped about three bucks. That high rye MGP does it for me every time regardless if it is Bulleit, Dickel, or High West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Baby Saz after din-din. Everything about this whiskey makes me happy. Except I guess, it ain't the easiest to find on a consistent basis. But, the long bottle neck makes it easy to quickly snatch when I do see it sitting on the shelf!

amg Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Trying the JEP 1776 Rye for the first time. The nose gives away its youth, but young MGP is surprisingly good on the palate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunnelTiger Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Had my first pour of HW's MWD last night. My oh my this is a most excellent rye. No doubt I need to get another bottle for the bunker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
