kcgumbohead Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Wilderness Trial BP rye from my April trip. I really love this whiskey, its fine at BP but really shine IMO with a few drops of water , multilayered, complex I get a delicious apricot note from it among many others then into a long lasting finish with hints of dark chocolate. The deeper I get into this bottle the more I like it, glad I hear it will be available without a road trip!! Though I do love that road trip :). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just starting to show up in Iowa, and everyone seems to think highly of it. I'll probably grab one of the local stores get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilderness Trail is absolutely killing it with their BP rye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli77 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 ^ could not agree more. Outstanding product that will likely get better with age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Pikesville is hitting on all cylinders tonight. Rich, thick, balanced and a great finish. Times like this make me wonder why I even bother chasing anything else... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcgumbohead Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Last night was all set to be a 4R night and then at the last second I switched gears and returned to the WTr BP rye I went on about a couple days ago. It didn't disappoint and as I said before I am enjoying what I already liked on initial sip even more with each successive dram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Staying with Beam after some delicious Baker's and capping tonight off with some KCCS Rye. @#$%^* delicious! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoFingers Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Opened a HW Rendezvous Rye. My first time with this (or any HW product) and I must say that I am pretty pleased with it. The price has come down on it recently, most likely due to addition of their own distillate, and I won't complain about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's Batch 3-- with Batch 2 still sitting on the shelf. You would think they would've noticed the negatives in their secondary pricing structure by now. At least it's carrying an age statement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arifried44 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 This Jack Daniels Tennessee Tasters Selection rye is one of the best I’ve had in a long time, and that includes this year’s Michter’s BP. If you see it, snatch it up. Here it’s 40/375ml and worth every penny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I likely won't buy without trying first and even then not anywhere close to Batch 2 cost. It is maybe worth $100 to me. Emphasis on maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was $165.00-- which puts it dead in the middle between the Wild Turkey Cornerstone and Whistlepig 15yo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCMC Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Angel’s Envy Rye must be your next foray into Rye. You’ll be amazed. Robust flavor and dangerously smooth. Also, I toured the facility in Louisville last week. Some Marine buddies and I. They treated us like kings. Great experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMartin42 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Opened a Pikesville last night. My first full bottle of it. I had the little bottle that came in that HH sampler gift pack and had bought a full bottle based on that. Really enjoyable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obeezy1Kaneezy Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I know I’ve seen some mixed reviews on this one, but I really like it. In this day of overpriced products, I think it’s pretty fairly priced as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been to a lot of the Kentucky Distilleries, but I still haven’t made it to the Angel’s Envy Distillery. It sounds like you had a great time during your visit.

I was stunned when I tried Eric's batch 1 from 2017. I ended up not getting a bottle of batch 3 this summer as finances were a little tight at the time. I even told the owner/distiller that not only was this "Handy-good" it was very Handy like as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
