Maybe, due to my familiarity with WTRBR, I felt it was superior to the Rendezvous. The Rendezvous had a short finish and not a lot going on with the palate. I suspect the high rye , very low corn component. I won’t give up on HHRR, because of my stellar history with HHDR. P.S. The Pikesville, was just meh tonight. Could be just tonight, but it was just boring. It used to be a fave of mine. Could be this batch. Cheers From memory, the rendezvous from 2014-2016 was about its peak flavor. I think they started running out of the quality 7 year high rye MGP stuff like everyone else around 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry in WashDC Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Beam's OO BIB neat while grilling a tri-tip. Got the OO out for a classic 2:1:::rye: Dolins sweet vermouth on the rocks w/ a real maraschino cherry in syrup and some Angostura. I just cannot grill food without having a glass of something neat while I'm braving the elements and the bugs. Is my reason/excuse for drinking out there. Frankly neither the elements nor the bugs bother me all that much. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattk Posted May 12 Author Share Posted May 12 I'm nearing the end of this mtbsr. And I have to say it wasn't great. Did anyone have an awesome bottle this round? I understand this is a sib, so there will be variety. But this one was all syrup and burn. Basically none of what I'd expect from a michter product.

I don’t think I’ve had a breakfast at Bob Evans, but I had a customer in Troy, OH who was an always lunch visit, and we always went to the BE down the road. It was always GREAT! I’ll go there any time! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is absolutely a bucket list type of experience! I didn't get to see the latest display, though it could've been viewed in my area; but for the cloud cover. My initial experience occurred when I (and a few buddies) was driving waaaay North into Canada for a weeklong back country fishing trip. We were 'doing all the driving in a day' (20-hours) with only gas, meal, and potty breaks. During our next-to-last break (4-hours to go) at about 4 a.m. we stopped beside some unnamed lake to stretch, and pee. Suddenly the sky seemed to just light up with shimmering 'curtains' in shades of brilliant green, blue and bit of violet. The display covered nearly all the sky and lasted until we decided we'd never leave if we awaited the 'conclusion'. I've been lucky enough to view the Aurora several more times; but never as vivid as that first and most memorable occasion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I'm having Ritt B.I.B. In a good way, this tastes so much like a high rye Bourbon. I'd compare it to OGD or some others. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They taste very different to me, but u do grab both of them in si m ilar situations...bold flavors, value priced, stand up in cocktails... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still my go to. It has something extra above a high rye bourbon. Have you tried any of the sibs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not tried the single barrel version yet. I saw it once in a store I don't shop too often. I need to talk to the manager of my regular place. Maybe they'll get some.

Richnimrod Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 My immediate family is celebrating my son-in-law's birthday (yesterday), as well as mine (actually Sunday) this evening. We're going out for dinner, then back here, whereupon I'll uncork that bottle of Rare Breed Rye I picked up at the gift shop last weekend of April. It'll be offered around and likely partaken by most of us. So, we'll put a dent in the contents; but that signed bottle shall be kept no matter what. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know Dickel distilled their own rye. Dickel rye was always MGP rye, correct? When did they start making their own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
