flahute Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Well rye must be a thing because I've had Sazerac (a barrel pick nonetheless) and some Pikesville tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattk Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 I had the good fortune of showing up at a local spot for happy hour. All whiskies were half price, so I ordered a double of thh.good fortune as it was blessed me with a sbs of 16 and 19 as there was only a pour left in the 16. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I'm digging WT 101 Rye. So glad they brought this back after years of being gone. I even saw Rare Breed Rye in the wild today $56. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattk Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 Had a company event at Hershey park today. The PA haul was pretty good. I was kind of surprised by the selection being so good at the state store. But chose to buy a few more of these. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryT Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Picked up an EC Rye this weekend and cracked it just before dinner tonight. Not bad - need to do a blind SBS w/ Ritt BIB (same price these days, although 6 proof points lower). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always love the end of a bottle at a bar/restaurant, normally makes for a hefty pour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a long standing tradition with the bar at my American Legion post. If you order a drink that empties a bottle, that drink is free. FWIW, I’ve experienced this from both sides of the bar. I occasionally helped out by filling in at bartender there many years ago. Biba! Joe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kjbarth Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Out on the porch in a bit of rain and what walks up? A not so big raccoon looking to get out of the rain. Instantly thought, where’s mama? Baby sat at the door for a minute, scratched at the screen, and left when I tried to take a pic. Must have wanted some WhistlePig. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did the right thing running him off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcgumbohead Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 A bit late but oh well... last Fryeday resulted in a pour of Dads hat BiB, bottles getting mighty low. I read awhile back that a certain run, and I think this bottle is included, was particularly spicy. That lines up with my impressions throughout this bottle so I don't know that I have really tasted their core profile. Once empty I'll hold off until I find a barrel proofer (hopefully sampled pre purchase which means an out of state trip) and resume exploring the DH catalog from that point. This one was good, a mood pour as the spice was prevalent and I really enjoy spice, but this had some other side note that put it in the mood category vs. say, WP10 which has all the spice at 100% rye but I find that one enjoyable anytime, anyplace.

Mattk Posted September 23, 2021 Author Share Posted September 23, 2021 I've been making a real effort to drink up a bunch of my opens before cracking new bottles. And with much success. I present to you, a relatively low number of opened ryes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedelstaedt Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Happy FRyeday I opened up with a wee pour of WTRB Rye. Cooler weather just shouts a Rye whiskey to me. Have a nice weekend. Cheers 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took it down to around 50% ABV and it really performed well. Great mouthful and delivery, but woefully overpriced. Basically a fantastic pour if someone else is buying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sherry finish is sweet and fruity. Usually I'm not one for a finished rye, but this one is acceptable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing more or less then you'd expect. So when the mood strikes it is exactly the proper rye. But there are many others like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
