Seems like they are putting out a new one every other week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 WTR101. Nice spicy underrated rye. $22. Yes, please. Totally different than the other rye in my rotation, OF100. Prefer WTR101 but OF100 is good too. I am still waiting for Pikesville to show up again. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Just cracked open this NR Balboa Rye. Super fruity rye with some floral notes. Has a sweet (but not overdone) finish with a little citrus zing. Kinda like a lemon honey drop. Delicious! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That fruit note is what got me when I tasted the Balboa years ago and I loved it, immediately I was on the hunt for a bottle. I really like NR, haven't heard as much about them lately with the flood of new labels hitting the shelves but they are one of the "new" distilleries that I put right up there with my legacy favorites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedelstaedt Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Happy FRyeday. Earlier had a PS of HW Double Rye, now Sagamore Sherry finished. Both are very nice, I give the edge to the Sagamore. Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomm Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Pikesville was opened and tried tonight in a blind SBS with Knob Creek Rye. This was my first time trying Pikesville, purchased because it seems to have many followers here. I like what I'm tasting. You guys give good advice. I shall save the KC for Manhattans and the Pikesville for neat enjoyment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect/hope we will begin seeing it all the time on shelves moving forward. This along with my favorite "budget" ryes Old Forester 100, WT101R and Rittenhouse give us a great core of affordable rye whiskies to choose from. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Haven't seen this one in a while. This is one of my favorites. My "desert island" rye. $51.00 They had 3 bottles, but I only bought one. Almost bought two, but I figured that I'd leave them for someone else to enjoy. I'm sure that, by the time we finish it, it'll start showing up on the shelves again. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
