PaulO Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I'm having one of my favorites, Old Forester Rye, and from a liter bottle too. Recently I went to a big grocery store sale and picked up Pikesville and KC Rye 7 year old. I've never tried the KC Rye before. I really liked the OO B.I.B., so this should be the same juice, except a few more years in the barrel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why but I didn't think OO was the same mash bill as KC rye, but you are probably right. I think I was confusing OO Rye with the OGD bourbon Beam mash bill being different than the other Beam bourbon mash bills. I have an OO BiB Rye bottle that I've never opened. I guess I should get around to that to compare myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 If I recall correctly, Beam has one rye whiskey recipe. Jim Beam Rye, Old Overholt, KC Rye in their different variations start as the same. From there it's different ages and how proof it down to bottle and so on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the obscure but notable exception of the unicorn Booker's Rye which was said to be a unique rye mash bill. I recall hearing there was going to be a new release of some Beam rye using that Booker's mash bill, but I never heard that it actually was released.

I still have part of a bottle hidden away. Might need to find an excuse to pull that out soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have quite a few on deck, but have been on a mission to drink my opens for a couple of years now. I'll probably meet that goal later today. I actually have 2 bottles of the px sherry cask pepper 100 proofs bunkered. But that is the last of the 92 proof oloroso cask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepler Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 The HW Midwinter made a welcome return to my liquor cabinet of open bottles. This one is Act 5, scene 5. It really hit the spot. But this '17 THH is just another notch above. Love it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a winner! ...Not that I've that many bottles, 4-if memory serves (and my memory is not necessarily that reliable any more; I may have had 10, or 1...
