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 Share Posted January 8 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 Share Posted January 9 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! 6 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...

Thomm Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 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 Share Posted January 20 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. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
