mbroo5880i Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 FRYEDAY with KC Rye 7 year. This stuff is so rough around the edges I feel like it is brawling with my pallate. Nothing like a good fight on a FRYEDAY night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anwalt Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Obree stayed up late. We had a nice 3-hour chat over OE7 and Rossville Union (former blew away the latter, those 1-2 years make a difference). Followed by JD SBBP R and Michers BP. Just great stuff. God bless tech! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 How's this for Fryeday. I went to a church fish fry, then poured myself a generous dram of Rittenhouse. Next on to the Forged In Fire marathon on the Defy channel. Wife is at work till late, so I can actually hear what the judges on the show are saying. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedelstaedt Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Earlier this evening, Pikesville. Now onto WP15. Please, let me get rid of this bottle. It has hung around like mid summer cold. It just won’t go away. Not only is it a meh whiskey, it cost me over $200, back in 2019. Just a waste of money & my liver. Anyway, Happy FRyeday, Y’all. Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richnimrod Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 In my meager experience Whistle Piggie is either liked a lot by folx or mostly passed by others. Not many seem to be neutral about WP. Personally, I am kinda an outlier, I guess. I don't hate it; but, for the money, lotsa other things I'd grab first. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be common knowledge but our tour guide said its all canadian rye. Banana comes from the yeast. Cracked a 134.5 last night. Great pour but had to add a couple drops of water Edited March 17 by FasterHorses 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what tour you were on , what country it was in, or how much anyone might have been drinking before, during, or after. The “banana” in my bottle is consistent with what I get sometimes from other JD products. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if FasterHorses was describing the grain used in the mashbill(s) as "Canadian" rather than the distillate....? I believe Canada does produce a large amount of the rye grain used in distilling whiskey in the US. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they get their corn from TN and Alabama… and wherever else close by they can get it. The tour was in Lynchburg, Tennessee at the distillery hosted by an official JD tourguide and 23 year employee. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhistlePig and Jeffersons Rye were stellar produced in Alberta. WhistlePig is ok but signficantly overpriced. I have enjoyed a couple of older and finished bottles over the past few years that easily cost the purchaser $150 to $200 each. Fine whiskeys but something that I would never consider buying. I am ok with WT101, Ritt BIB, or Hard Truth. Tonight's pour x2 is Pikesville. I can get 4 bottles for the price of WP12 Yr. Yes, please! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a totally different mash bill than Sazerac/Handy, which are barely legal ryes. EH Taylor rye has no corn. It’s rumored to be around 80% rye and the rest barley. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anwalt Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Well, this reminded me that I had opened one to let it air out. Time to try it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
