Mattk Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 So I've just been super happy with the new castle and key sourced rye from pinhook, but haven't had a mgp from them in a while. Decided to pick one up to sbs them. On Evey level I'll take the rye'd on over the bourbon n rye every time. I'm glad I went back to try another mgp pinhook for the comparison, but it's really no contest to me. The castle and key stuff is way better already, even in it's infancy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The C&K rye seems to have great potential if the price doesn’t get too ridiculous when they release one under their own name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshall9779 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Killed the last of this the other day. Need to pick up another soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so annoyed I can't get this anymore. It was available here in the whiskey wasteland (also known as Oklahoma) but right as COVID hit it has disappeared. My buddy at the liquor store says they just can't get it. It was all over the place and my favorite easily accessible rye...and poof its gone. Drives me crazy.

JCwhammie Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Come on B-S, make this a regular release! I got this bottle on sale for $24 about a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattk Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) I don't post about these every time I buy or drink one, but oddly for me it has been a while. Got myself another Rittenhouse today. I probably get one every three purchases, except lately. What a solid pour. I really should just buy a case.

BigRich Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 My 2020 resolve continues to breakdown. I pulled the trigger on a WhistlePig PS 12yr aged on cognac casks today...along with a Delord 25 year, a way too spendy Glendronach, and PS Sherry finished Joseph Magnus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottledInBond Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I finally tried the Rare Breed rye. i certainly enjoyed it, and thought it was plenty's smooth neat. Would take a couple of these over one bottle of Cornerstone I think..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattk Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Today I bought the first edition of the pinhook rye vertical series. I hope it's good, because I'm planning on saving it for 9 years at this point to actually do the vertical tasting at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 ^^^^^^That’s gonna be a hell of a long wait! I’ve enjoyed the Pinhook 2 yr, and am very optimistic about this rye as they move forward with older distillate/future releases. Comparing them as 2 yr olds, IMO, they are way ahead of where Willett stood at this age/stage of their rye development. YMMV... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've probably already had a dozen of the rye'd on. But unfortunately the vertical series is just bottled at castle and key, but sourced from mgp. So it's definitely less exciting then it could be. But I think it may be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoilerinIL Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Started the weekend with a standard Knob Creek Rye and it just didn't do it for me (or my wife). I moved on to a Union Horse Reunion Barrel Strength Rye. I like this better because it has more character to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
