Which rye?

[mdf]

My rye is gone.
Which should I buy next?

 

[mdf]

Dad's hat, whistle pig, willet, pendleyon, koval, fillibuster, templeton?

High West Double. Great for recuperating or whining about the mood spring is in here right now.

 

[mdf]

The only High West here is bourbon. I see a few more I overlooked, though. Mastersons, Russell s Reserve, Rittenhouse, Few, Pikesville.

My prior purchases were Mastersons, Mad River, and Fillibuster.

I rather enjoy Templeton. Whistle Pig is very nice as well but comes in at Kastle prices.

I had a very good Templeton rye old fashioned at Barolo the other night.....maybe I should go get a bottle

Whistle Pig. Templeton is a pretty good daily driver - a good mixer, same for Rittenhouse. WP straight up FTW. Masterson's is very, very good too.

Whistle Pig

You were right. It is very good.

It's not so much the rye..but what's inbetween two pieces...

Templeton appears to be doing ok, expanding .... all those barrel's and I never knew they were Ia based:

history wise, interesting but not overly dramatic given it hasn't been around long.

If you get a chance, give Wild Turkey rye a spin. Its a lot better than the price range it is in. I have spent twice as much for half as good.

This hits well above its weight......

I had a new local one today. They were pouring in my local shop. Nice. Overpriced at $40, imho. Now, where is my Talisker?

Happened across a High West rendezvous today, so I bought it. Spicier than the Whistlepig. I like it (based on one small taste)


The cap broke opening it. Annoying, but I was able to find a wine cork that fit. ( Most were too skinny. ) I glued the cap, will see if repair holds.

^Nice score, Rendezvous is just about my favorite semi-affordable, semi-findable rye. It's my baseline that I compare others against. Keep an eye out for HW's Double Rye, a little cheaper and nearly as good. Also their Midwinter Night's Dram, which is a port barrel finished Rendezvous, limited distribution, more expensive, but sublime.

I'm not sure why the bottles are half empty, but here's an update. Both are good, but I like the High West better.

Well, I'd keep my eye on Pam. You never know when you're gonna catch her in the rye.
