Madhatter Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Received a bottle of the High West Rendezvous Rye that has received an extra 20 months in used Manhattan barrel. It gets good comments, so I have high hopes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amg Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 A well-meaning friend recently gifted me a bottle of Templeton. With a splash of Stagg Jr added to it, it's not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFerguson Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 HW 21yr. It's fun to go to the bar and have them pull my personal bottle out for a quick after work nip. Especially on a cold, rainy afternoon B Sent from my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcgumbohead Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Was given a sample of Whistlepig 10yr from a fellow enthusiast. 10 yr, 100%rye a nice hit of rye spice ( better be at 100% ) I am very inexperienced with ryes but I am enjoying this very much. Layers of vanilla, clove, spice. I don't see myself taking one to the register at the going price but I am having fun on this little detour into rye land.

Whistlepig can be good, it's just too damn hard to enjoy it without feeling like you need to take a shower afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flahute Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Started with Rittlepig, finished with Pikesville. Pikesville is the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, with the cost being relatively the same, I may have blended my last batch of RP. Additional research is required, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amg Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Rye is really hitting the spot. Lots of spicy goodness and a nice long finish. Too bad this bottle's almost gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vosgar Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 My brother-in-law was in town this weekend, which means it's rye whiskey time. We had some baby Saz, Saz 18 and a private selection Jefferson's 10yr that was pretty damned good. So good in fact that he drank about 1/3 of the bottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Poured some Colgne - I mean - Collingwood 21yr rye. Nice stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyjd75 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Pikesville. My first bottle of this stuff. Amazingly good, and for 110 proof, easily drinkable neat with virtually no burn at all. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravensfire Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Willett 3 year old rye to celebrate the Blues opening win against San Jose. This is 3 years old? Lots of folks are doing this aging thing wrong (or maybe, just maybe starting from vastly inferior stock) because this is a really damn nice rye.

flahute Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 In a rye mood which is rare for me these days. Finished off my Rittlepig blend. It was a good save for the Whistle Pig standard that I didn't like, but I won't purposely recreate it. Following with basic Rittenhouse BIB. Sometimes I love it, sometimes it just so so. Tonight is a so so night. I'll follow this with some Pikesville to see if two extra years makes a difference for me when the 4yr old Ritt is not being particularly impressive.

Paddy Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Winter has returned to the bluegrass, so I've taken solace with a dose of WTRR, which was promptly followed by a helping from a PS KC bottle. Winning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrey r Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Last evening, after a little Famous Grouse 18, had a nice pour of one my Astor SAOS CS ryes (8 or 9 years old, I forget). The SAOS is just an amazing rye--scratch that, simply an amazing whisk[e]y. I put more water in than normal, as I wasn't quite in the mood for CS, and the flavor still shone through. Beautiful stuff (Grouse 18 good as always as well). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had numerous Willett Ryes and they've all been good. Anything above 3yrs old currently on the market is sourced from MGP in Indiana. (Except the 20+ year old ryes that are from an unknown source). Unfortunately, the pricing has gotten out of hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
