Vosgar Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Since my son and his family live 400+ miles away from us and he's not a whiskey drinker, I always keep a bottle at his house for when we visit. Right now it's a Ritt DSP-1, my first one that's not a DSP-354 and I have to say it's been a hit or miss pour for me. I've been working on it for probably 8 months (we try to get out there once a month). This last Friday it was harsh and nasty, Saturday it was OK but certainly nothing to get excited about. All is well though.......came home tonight and brought out the Ritt 23yr. Damn this is delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCWoody Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Not a bad way to rebound......^^^^^ Had the last pour of an OS 7y 99p. Damn good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigPapa Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Picked up a High West RR that has been finished in there Manhattan barrels for 20 months. 50% abv and this stuff is darker and richer than the HWMWND. A private bottling from a store near me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masset1982 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I just poured a glass of Willett 8 yo Rye, fantastic. My first choice was to uncorke the SAOS 9 yo cask strength, save this one for another time. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonVivant84 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Finished off my bottle of Saz 18 last night, which led to me pulling out a bunch of others and tasting back and forth between them and the Saz. Short of it...While i do love some hyper aged rye, I find i would take younger, unfiltered and barrel proof over older aged bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you - I'd take a younger/cask strength over a lower-proof really old rye (in most, but not all cases). Pouring a mingle of some Willett ryes (4yr + 25 yr, which gives me just the right balance of oak & spice!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasled Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Was gifted a bottle of Millstone 100 Dutch Rye last year and I've only just gotten around to opening it. It's pretty good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacket Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Sippin' on some Ritten(house) - old label. Pretty easy going for < $25 a bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on about my third bottle of it but I got all of mine from Europe. Did the person who gave it to you get it in Europe or is it finally available here? It has been rumored that it would be coming to the US for quite some time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was gifted by a store owner for my wedding, which was very nice of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanstaafl2 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Ah! Didn't pay attention to the location listed on your profile. It had a TTB application a while back but I still have yet to see it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I'm back in the bluegrass and since winter shows no inclination to release its iron grip on us, I went with a steep pour of the Rittlepig blend tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I'm on a couple of weeks now with the 2016 Michter's 10 yr rye, and I have had a difficult time getting my bearings on it. But, tonight some things are coming around on it. A lot of vegetal, grassy notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Daniel's Rye in the hotel bar. Maybe, it was the crap day I had, but this is really good right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spade Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Having a pour of Pikesville. Almost finished with the bottle and I've realized I like it best with a little bit of water. Just a drop tames the heat and brings out some sweet and grassy notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacket Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Passing on a Willett 7 year rye today inspired me to revisit a bottle of SAOS 7 year rye that was acquired for quite a bit less $$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 After the appetizer bourbon pour, I paid my respects to a couple of neglected bottles with a main course pour from a PS KC followed by a nice dessert pour of baby Saz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlutz Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) I visited my pikesville 110 last night. Holy crap I remembered it is good, but it was fantastic. Nice heat, but a lot of varied flavors came through. Finished the night with an effort on my BKM (bottle killing mission) and had some widow Jane. What a drop off.
