LCWoody Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) I picked up a WP Boss Hog 3 this past week. I really enjoyed the 13y. The color on the 14y is much darker then the 13y, I know it's a SB so it could just be this particular barrel. I'll let y'all know how good it is when I open it.

Limegoldconvertible68 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I picked up my first bottle of Rittenhouse BIB and am very impressed by it. A very rich flavor that agrees with my palate(hopefully someday I get better at identifying the flavors so I can give a more in depth review). But it's good!

bourbon4all Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Seen these sitting on the overstock/reduction area of the liquor store I special ordered a bottle at. Asked how much if I took all 6 and they marked it down further. Paid 36 for first bottle and I didn't think that was to terrible. Had to chuckle when I got home and checked the numbers on thr bottom. Same case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlutz Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 One of my stores had a case of baby saz at $29.99 so I grabbed a couple more to stash. Other than in New Orleans, that's the best price around me. Also grabbed a bottle of Pikesville at $55. I can sometimes find it at $45 after a coupon but that store hasn't had it in stock in a couple months and I've gone without. It's one of my favorites.

Hop Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Passed on Pikesville today at Sams for $46.58. Shouldn't have in retrospect. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvd99 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Basil Hayden Rye after trying it at a tasting. Pretty good even at 80 proof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardsandBourbon Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Actually purchased my first bottle of Rye today. I was picking up a bottle of Old Forester Single Barrel and at the check out I looked over and spied something I'd never seen in town before. I nodded at it and the guy said sure, he had it up front for another guy but had some more bottles so I said I'll take it. Brought this home.

beasled Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Visited Hillrock Estate yesterday and picked up their Double Cask Rye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Vino Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Checked out one of my go to's and was able to try the Basil Hayden rye - meh. They had an Old Maysville Club, from Old Pogue. Bottled in bond. Tastes like rye is supposed to taste. Baking spices, smooth, full finish. NAS, but if I had to guess would think around 6 years. $50 and, to me, fair value for what is in the bottle.

Paddy Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 ^^^ I think this is aged four years, 100% malted rye and pot still distilled. I'm sure the added two years helped a lot, as the Five Father's they initially came out with was a bit grainy and rough. @ $50, doesn't seem like a bad deal. Thanks for posting!

El Vino Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Maybe not th best gauge, but I used the color as the primary factor in gauging its age. Thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Vino Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 No rye character in the sample I had. I'd far prefer the Rittenhouse rye or baby Saz. If you can find some, the Maysville Club won't disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpiz Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 My curiosity got the better of me and I bought a bottle of the Basil Hayden rye. I'll post some notes over in the BH rye thread when I open it, which should be soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanstaafl2 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) Far too many times! Often with young grainy ryes like Corsair, Corbin Cash, Goldrun, Resurgens, Oppidan. Or Jack Daniels! I kept thinking one of these times I was going to find one I liked. I am now out of that business! Probably... At least the BH rye is not young.

I bought a bottle of the Corbin Cash after trying (and liking) it at Whiskeys of the World in SF a few years ago, though it's quite possible my palate was in tatters by the time I tried it that night. Hopefully that doesn't turn out to be dog whiskey when I finally open it. Good point about the BH. Still, I'm not surprised it is getting some very mixed reviews here. In case you don't get to try it elsewhere, I know a guy who just bought a bottle and would be happy to spare a couple ounces... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanstaafl2 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Thanks. I think I might save samples for things a bit more exotic then BH which I can likely eventually get a chance to try locally. Maybe I am "disremembering" the Corbin Cash. I will have to try it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinbrink Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Bought this on a whim, assuming it is MGP since it's 95% rye, cask strength MGP Rye with age on it isn't as easy to come by around here than it was a couple years ago so 6 years for $60 I was good with.

My second time with a second bottle of the 3 year / 110 proof rye. I have to say I like it, and can't wait to see how it is at 4 years, then 5........ I still have multiples of SAOS rye single barrel BP at 7-9 years old, but I wouldnt hesitate to try another MGP bottler of barrel proof rye at 6 years....
