johnnybogey Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) Figured I would fire up a new thread like we have for Bourbon.Been exploring more and more rye lately. Tried Ritt, Baby Saz and more recently HW Rendezvous Rye and SAOS Rye. Really enjoyed both.Wanted to try a super aged rye so pick up a JPS 21. They also had the JPS 25 but the price was way way inflated.Looking forward to trying this one. Edited September 25, 2015 by johnnybogey Link to post Share on other sites
ccleve23 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Picked up the new Pikesville Rye 110 today. Cracked into it and found it a very tasty whiskey. Worth the 50 bucks easy to me. Link to post Share on other sites

I tried it with an without water. Preferred it straight. Water does bring out out more of that rye spice. Link to post Share on other sites

BigRich Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 So I went out looking for one damn bottle of bourbon, which I didn't find, for a work function and came back with a slew of stuff for me instead. Pikesville Rye, Rittenhouse BIB, Jack Daniels barrel proof, Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Rye, and a Hibiki Harmony. Link to post Share on other sites

scratchline Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Stumbled across something new to me: Rendezvous Rye (105.8 proof), bourbon barrel finished (2 1/2 years). And wonder of wonders, it was priced fairly. So I brought some home. And it's very good indeed. It was so nice to wander into a liquor store and be pleasantly surprised. I haven't had that happen in a long time.-Mike Link to post Share on other sites

scratchline Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Has been around for awhile, a couple of years at least, as a store barrel pick from High West. I have seen Double Rye with additional age as well. Is this an extension of the HW line or was it a store pick of some sort? Link to post Share on other sites
LCWoody Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 It was a store pick. And they were very excited that they got the actual barrel too.The only other finished Rendezvous that I've come across is the Midwinter Nights Dram. -Mike All the HWRR store picks that I've had were finished in a different barrel. I have 2 on hand right now. Link to post Share on other sites

mbroo5880i Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Nice score! The BTAC seems to be quietly trickling out.Yes, nice pickup! I have been so busy that I haven't had a chance to look this year. Oh well, plenty of solid whiskies out right now. Link to post Share on other sites
amg Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Yes, nice pickup! I have been so busy that I haven't had a chance to look this year. Oh well, plenty of solid whiskies out right now.The competition for those bottles seems even greater than last year, and I didn't even think that was possible! Plenty of great year round bottles on the shelf anyway, though. Link to post Share on other sites
