Jazzhead Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 It's all good. Wheat or rye. Islay or Lowland. Dixieland or bebop. If it's crafted with care, I can dig it. Variety is the spice of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macon Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Rye, without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickynick Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 This one is hard for me. While some of my favorites are rye based, and I started out on rye based bourbon, I have a lot of wheaters in my stash. Old Fitz BIB was my everyday for awhile, and of course ORVW 10 107, and Lot B are a couple of my favs, but I would say that I reach for a rye based bourbon, 6 out 10 times. Having said that, I think Old Fitz will be my pour when I get home from work tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I choose my whiskey /whisky by the flavor mood I am in...I like them all. Sometimes a Rye fits the bill...othertimes straight bourbon or "foreign" whiskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scopenut Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 While I like many of the ryes, on the whole I tend towards the wheaters. I like the little extra sweetness, I guess. -Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaz7 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I am going to butter my bread on both sides; PVW. FR for Rye, 15-20 for wheat. But at the end of the day, I am a wheater, that occasionally enjoys Old Rittenhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrispyCritter Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 My preference tends to wobble and spin a bit... sort of like how the room does if I over-indulge.Of course, once I start mixing cocktails, I tend to prefer straight rye or rye-based bourbons if I use red vermouth, but wheaters if I use white.

ACDetroit Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 At this time I lean heavy towards the Rye or Straight Rye. Even though I just finished a pour of the 2007 WLW, 8 out of 10 pours are Rye currently. Once these bottles go down I'll open up the next bunch which may be heavy on the Wheat side who knows??

Right now, I'd much rather throw back anything but. The one exception is Weller Antique. I just love that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
