reeko Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I grabbed it today too, I like it quite a bit, but I also quite like the regular KC Rye, it tastes like a more oak driven amplified version of that which is pretty much what I was hoping for. I think it is really a good buy for the price (paid $58.99) and a few drops of water really brought forward some more rye notes, it does drink a bit hotter than I expected for the proof neat. Also a major improvement over last nights pours! That looks good! What's the age statement for it? I've only seen the regular rye here. I'm enjoying some Canadian rye whiskey tonight for mothers day.

PaulO Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I raided my bunker by pulling out a bottle of Sazerac (stashed several years ago). I recently saw a bunch at a local store @ low $30s. Anyway, this is a nice easy drinker for hot humid weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Not a purchase, but a pass. A drug store has Woodford Rye. It looks just like the regular Woodford bottle, except for small green label and "rye". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I hear some folks lament how "facebook is a complete waste of time", but glad I saw the post about a local store offering the KC Cask Strength rye for a steal (and more importantly, glad I got there before they ran out!) Based on reports here, I can't wait to try it (but having picked it up on my lunch break - I'll have to wait a little bit) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite true, but the Pikesville Rye is back in stock (although who knows for how long} and they have added both the Peerless Rye and the Whistlepig Barrel Strength Rye. The Peerless is, in my worthless opinion, too expensive but quite good, and the Whistlepig Barrel Strength is the only WP I've ever enjoyed, and I'm doing that mightily.

kcgumbohead Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Enjoying some Ritt bib. Curious about Dads Hat, they have GA distro now and it will be interesting to see when/if any local stores select a barrel, even more interesting to see what it tastes like.

Marekv8 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 My LS owner let me have this for $50.00 because he wanted to try it. Didn't care much for it, but will give it another run tonight in a proper glass (vs. the plastic cup earlier). Nice job on the pack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only had three evenings with the Peerless, but if it was offered at $50 instead of $129 I would consider bunkering it. I found it, for me, in the same bracket as the WP Barrel Strength. Both are quite intense, and I like them both quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcgumbohead Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 KC CS RYE, from a local that has the best local pricing I have seen (thanks to a heads up from another SB'r). Looking forward to this one. I was a bit shy about the individual barrel picks given the youth, the Beam yeast, and less than glowing comments about the samples that were sent out but these are older and reports have been all positive so I am looking forward to this one.

I see you're in Buford (I live in Winder) and was looking to pick up a bottle of this. Who has the best pricing? I saw it today in Duluth for $73 and passed but am having second thoughts...

ondarocks Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Appreciate it. Just found a place near work that is getting an allotment in tomorrow for $65. I'll gladly pay the extra $7 as Marietta may as well be on the other side of the world with ATL's traffic. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Opened up a Rebel Yell Small Batch Rye I picked up at Lux-Row Distillery in April. I tried someone else's that weekend, and was underwhelmed. Don't get me wrong - it isn't a great rye - for $25 I'd get Bulleit or Ritt BIB over this in the future. But nothing off-putting about it; more like a young bourbon than rye to me; sweet and gentle, but quite drinkable - and hitting just right on a wet Friday night.
