Could have been off night since we a a rough day of sailing on Lake Michigan but I wasn't really impressed. Similar to finished bourbons, I found the barrel finish diminished the attributes I enjoy in a good rye. I want a rye to punch me in the mouth and kick my ass not hold my hand and pat me on the butt. I just don't find WP12 Old World Rye in my wheelhouse. I will let it sit for awhile and then give it another go. I felt like an ass-whooping tonight so I opted for WTR 101. Mission accomplished. A good rye doesn't need to be expensive. It just needs to be good. While I cannot conceivably identify 101 attributes of a whiskey, I still believe I can come up with 101 reasons I prefer WTR 101 over WP 12 OWR. 1. Great Taste 2. Less Filling. Oh wait, wrong thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcgumbohead Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 New Riff bib rye, I really like this and will need to nurse this bottle till I can restock in the spring, I'll be sure to stock up with reinforcements. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Started the evening off with Crown Royal Noble 16 Year rye. It was quite delightful, if I can use that fussy term. I'm gonna make this a FRyeday. Kentucky Owl batch 1 in my glass. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I poured some Michter's 10 yr rye. I wouldn't normally say this but tonight my palate is liking the M10R better than the Owl rye. You just never know what your palate will bring to the party. That's why we have so many different whiskies on hand. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think M10 rye is one of those labels that has been anywhere from amazing to underwhelming varying greatly batch to batch, as they’ve mixed and matched juice from different sources over the years.

Well I appreciate that, but I only have one bottle of the M10 rye, therefore only one batch. I'm just saying that normally I prefer the Kentucky Owl rye over this bottle of Michter's 10. But last night the M tasted better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattk Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 Work has been going mad lately. So not much time for drinking. Been waking at 3:45am to get it. Tonight though I'm having a double of ritt. Hope to see more of you all sooner then later. But probably work will just be getting crazier. You all know what ritt looks like. So here is my truck in a warehouse. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffrey r Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Certainly not purchased in ‘22, but opened in ‘22. I probably bought this Jeff 10 YR rye about 10 years ago. No need to sit on it anymore, so pulled it out of the bunker and opened it. IIRC, there was KY and Canadian sourced Jeff 10 YR at the end of its run, and this bottle was produced in Canada. Fine rye—not spectacular, but certainly nice. Blast from the past. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a few of the Canadian bottles. Non-chill filtered with little floaties in the bottom of the bottle. A great whiskey! I believe I paid in the mid $20s about 10 years ago. I wonder what a 10 year old rye of the same quality would cost today? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattk Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 Went on a little hunt after work today. Didn't find anything that blew my socks off. Although I am pretty pleased to have stocked another KCCS into the bunker. I did however purchase a few of my regular drinkers. Nothing super exciting, but all solid bottles that I enjoy. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbroo5880i Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Haven't had anything to drink this weekend. Decided to have an opening pour of WP12 Old World Rye Bespoke. The first few sips were tolerable but I just don't enjoy this whiskey. No worries. I will opt for a pour of bourbon to cleanse my palate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbroo5880i Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I was in a meeting this morning when I received a phone call. My phone was on mute so I texted the caller to let them know I would call them when the meeting was over. He told me no need and that he placed something in the front seat of my car. Since it was close to lunch, I was expecting a Jimmy John's sandwich. It ended up being a bottle of Woodford Reserve Rye. Imagine my disappointment since I was really hungry. We had a weeklong outage in one of our departments last week and he wanted to pay back me and a few of the engineers/maintenance folks who helped him work through some issues. I was just doing my job and I am always willing to go the extra mile to help others. It was really nice gesture and I am enjoying a couple of pours while watching the Colts-Broncos game. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
