beasled Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Enjoying some Sazerac Rye this evening. Don't often venture into rye much these days. Decently priced here, £35ish, and widely available. Good stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beasled Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I had to pack out an order with Master of Malt for free delivery and thought I'd try a sample of Sonoma Cherrywood Rye. I won't be buying a bottle, let's put it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also haven't tried the kc, thought I'd give it a spin this weekend. Did you try either Owl? I’m a fan of the pour just not the price on these. Batch 1 is my favorite but they’re all pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure I'll just work on completing the set. There are batch 4s everywhere right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a couple that both have chemistry backgrounds. When they 1st started, I grabbed their white dog rye, smooth as patron, and been hooked ever since. A regret, they had a pomegranate brandy for maybe $70/375 and I passed, and been wondering ever since. Catoctin can be pricey but they deliver quality.

B.B. Babington Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Knob Creek Single Barrel Select Rye, 115 proof, Virginia ABC pick, 6 year old. 1st impression hot and smooth at same time, hot on top and base of tongue yet silky smooth flavors on front of tongue. Odd! No aftertaste. Over all impression poor or mediocre at best, give me an EC rye instead. Normally I switch between lots of different sips for comparison, but tonight decided to hang with this rye to see where it goes. Glad I did. The heat quickly leveled out. Initial flavor became more complex. An aftertaste began to develop and became a lingering enjoyable experience. Only problem is I just took a gulp forgetting 115 and it took breath away. Price point $50 which I think good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always a crapshoot with those ABC "picks" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marekv8 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 A four year MGP rye at 50% ABV from the Proof and Wood folks. Well worth the $21.00 price tag. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The single barrel Saz have been good. I have tried 4 different store picks. I still haven't got the one I helped pick yet. They are waiting till the store opens back up from the Hurricane damage to release it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepler Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Opened up a Michter's barrel strength rye. It's been awhile, probably over a year, since I killed my last bottle. I think I picked up this particular bottle in 2017 in a small town, and believe it had been sitting around for awhile. Ahh those were the days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
