What rye are you drinking/ purchased 2023

[0895]

Enjoying some 10 year 95/5 MGP single barrel tonight.

This one leans towards the herbal side with lots of pepper and some oak mixed in.

Its subtle complexity is truly its charm.

I’ve had a decent amount of blended older MGP and I love it, but in this case the fun is in its individuality.

No regrets on having a backup of this.

I love it.  This is from the squat rectangular bottle.  Great MGP 95/5 juice.  I still find them every now and again. A friend in the NYC area seems to have regular access.

Oh, this is so delicious and very different.

Yep - cask strength Woodinville rye is fantastic.

Now this is something I need to keep an eye out for.

Who is smashed?  You or the kitty?  MGP does rye like no other distillery.

Im pretty sure it was me.

 

Also, Amen!

I’ve been sipping on a Prideful Goat rye. 6yr old MGP. It is pretty typical for MGP.  Good enough, but I will not be putting down the cash for another bottle. 
 

Happy fRYEday.

Taking my Flintstones vitamins in a glass tonight.

Having a strong pour of Redemption Rye this evening.

New Riff rye to restock as its predecessor was empty. Looking forward to trying a few CS versions on the spring trip.

This one has me curious. I haven't seen one around here yet so maybe on a road trip I'll come across one. The rye in CS form is here but I haven't seen any ryes and I'd prefer rye.

I ran across Pikesville Rye today at a heavily trafficked store.  They had several bottles for $39.99.  Honestly, I doubt they will sell out.

 

Didn't purchase but passed.  Not because I don't like it but I have other planned purchases.

That is a steal.

I drank bourbon this evening.  But I had to squeeze in a Fryeday pour.

 

WT Rare Breed Rye.  That lemon note is singing tonight, in a good way!  Tasty stuff.

[Mattk]

Having a midday pour of the maryland heritage series mt Vernon. Its lovely out this afternoon, just a  bit chilly, so perfect weather for a sit on the back porch.

[markandrex]

Some Redemption Rye 10 year.  

[smokinjoe]

Wild Turkey Rye.  Green on the label and it’s bird.  Must be a sign for the Eagles…

[Skinsfan1311]

Celebrating a KC missed FG, and hitting on my block pool with  1st quarter  7's

[Skinsfan1311]

The matching glass is a pure coincidence. I reached into the drawer and grabbed one for this pour.

Maybe it's a sign?  For what, I don't know.

Must have!   

 

It was one of, (several), pours that day/night for the Super Bowl.    I hit two blocks in the pool for $875.00

Posted a response on the "What foreign whiskey  . . ."  thread RE: Royal Crown which included what I was REALLY drinking.  It was/is Cedar Ridge BIB SmB Release 2, Bottle 2469.  CR is a distiller in Swisher, Iowa.  THIS was a Christmas gift from a U. of Iowa alum/relative-in-law.  I do not seek out micro distillers any more - too many bunker clunkers - but this is FAR from a shelf turd.  The ABSENCE of a mint overtone makes it a nice change from the MGP high ryes, and it is far enough away from the "barely rye" 51% rye, 45% corn, 4% barley mash bills to be unique.

 

I don't drink most ryes neat.  THIS one, I do.
