I get jealous when I see others posting good bourbon and rye that we don't get here. I'm enjoying some normal lot 40 tonight. Living in TX I don't really have access to the CS version. I love Lot 40, but I always felt it was underproofed. Rye gets huge benefit from higher ABV. Here, I'll console myself with these two US released Canadian gems that I grabbed on a road trip just now... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got younger versions of both of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reeko Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Is this NAS? If so, any idea what the age of the juice is?Yes this one in NAS. I've read some articles stating that it's a blend of 7-10 years, definitely a minimum of 7 years. The cask strength version has an age statement of 12 years. If you can find this one I would definitely try it. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CS 55% variant just brings out the muted flavors you taste from the normal lot 40. I think it's the same way with other whiskey that offer 40/45 and barrel proof offerings. I've never seen those ones before. They look good! Supposedly crown royal, another Canadian whiskey brand offers barrel proof versions in the US, but not in Canada. Why???

HoustonNit Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 8 year old Pensilvania distilled Old Overholt, my friend sent the last of a bottle that she discovered at her father's house. It had likely been open for decades. I don't usually take detailed notes but this one seemed important. Color: Tawny, or so says my wife Nose: Mint/mentol, raisen, spice, cherry cough syrup Palate: Sweet, spice, oak, more oak, nuttiness, astringent bitter tea Finish: Long, oak, fruit, reminds me of cognac or armagnac Overall really nice. This looks really nice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Beam has been taking the lead with Rye introductions recently, which takes me back to this (ri)1. I always thought it was a better whiskey than it’s douchey hipster mixologist packaging suggested. A nice 92 proofer with ample spicinees that upped their game before KC Rye came out and upped it further. Price was terrible, too, but can find at discounted $20ish numbers.

kevinbrink Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Yeah not actually "American" but picked this up while tooling around Centralish PA this weekend out of curiosity for $20, this is actually pretty solid and I suspect it would make a real nice Manhattan.

For like, $30. At $450-500, it should at least be as good as SAOS cask strength rye, or AMwND. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they ever do a "c'mon man!!" for whiskey bottles this will surely be at the top of the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Vino Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Peerless Rye with a toasted bagel w/Philadelphia smoked salmon cream cheese. This is a killer combo! I still like the Peerless Rye. Won't buy another for the price, but it has the elements... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marekv8 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 The coffee line at the Delta Sky Club was too long, so I opted for a double (plus) of WP10 in the biggest Glencairn I've seen to date. On my way to Grand Rapids-- hoping there's a good LS in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stump1998 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Couple new pickups today, looking forward to giving them both a try. Looked like the High West bottle had been there awhile. I haven’t tried the Rendezvous before but love the Double Rye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
