ken_mays Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I've had the RR rye but I think it was 90 proof or so. At barrel proof I think it would be a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RR single barrel rye is 104 proof. It's a little pricy but worth picking up IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDanner Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I really liked the Rare Breed 108, but not as impressed with the 112 version. Still good, but I don't know if it's $15-$20 better than the WT101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian Enzo Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Just curious - anyone tried the 116.8 yet? I've seen a couple of pretty positive reviews, but there's very little first-hand opinion out there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it side by side with the 112.8 last pour of that bottle with the first of the 116.8, found the 116.8 a little underwhelming then, had another pour last week and maybe it opened up but I thought it was fantastic, had pours of MMCS, 1792 FP and a Smooth Ambler Single Barrel in the same night and the WTRB was my favorite pour. May try to grab another 112.8 before it's all gone to do a side by side again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian Enzo Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Thanks. Any notes on the color - did it look significantly darker than the 112.8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a couple of pretty positive reviews, but there's very little first-hand opinion out there yet. I'm about half way through a bottle of the 116.8 that I bought a few months ago. I can't compare it to the 112.8 because I've not had it. I find it full of flavor with a real rich mouth feel. A couple drops of water really tames the high alcohol content as well as opening it up. The thing I really enjoy about it is the HUGE finish. It leaves your mouth full of flavor that lasts and lasts. Oddly enough the liquor store I bought it at now only has the 112.8 on the shelves now. I'll have to pick up a bottle and compare the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my eyes which admittedly are limited (I'm somewhat color blind) they are really similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would it be significantly darker? It's probably got a higher percentage of younger whiskey than the 112. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian Enzo Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Because I've seen a couple of shots where it definitely looks darker, so I'm curious. Photos can obviously be deceiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Ok thanks I hadn't noticed that. The older batches are noticeably darker than the newer 112.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stever Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Just grabbed one of these yesterday. Will try it tonight with Kozman and let you guys know what I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Forgot about this thread even though I started it. Just realized the current bottle of RB I'm drinking from is the new one. Have to say I like it quite a bit. Has a salted butter popcorn thing going on along with the other typical flavor characteristics that is quite appealing.
