    Wild Turkey rye is tasty and affordable. Pikesville seemed to disappear from stores but I see it slowly making a come back to some online stores. Still have not seen it locally.

    Received a bottle of Tin Cup Rye for my birthday and that got me started looking into rye whiskey. I really like the light citrus and mint notes. Just getting started on this journey but currently working thru bottles Bulleit and George Dickle ryes. Prefer the Dickle to Bulleit but Tin Cup is the best of the three. All sourced from MGP. Old Forester is next up.

      @rossmckelvey3032 Год назад

      I agree that Redwood Empire Emeral Giant is amazing! I enjoy all three of the products that distillery has to offer! The Lostmonarch which is a bourbon rye blended whisky is amazing! And the pipe dream is so tasty for the price! I get great cinnamon notes from the pipe dream!

    Cheers! Depending on the pick, that Riverset was Dickel distilled 95/5. The Blue Note UCUF was from Green River, and The Riverset Rye picks were Dickel. That could have changed in the last year. My favorite rye by far.

    Enjoying this series and the BIB sounds like a great topic. Sipping some Pikesville Rye now and it sounds like I need to pick up a couple bottles as I’m down to the end of my last one. Michter’s Rye is very good and it should be available in most markets. My wife prefers rye’s and she always picks Michters first and Pikesville second in blind tastings. You cannot leave out Wild Turkey 101 Rye and Old Forester Rye is my low budget rye and I keep it in a crystal decanter as a good daily sipper.

  • @Erin-bd6jg
    @Erin-bd6jg Год назад +1

    Great review guys, and some nice picks. I just got my first rye yesterday and fell in love. I didnt want a "barely rye" so I went with the Bulleit 95 and took the plunge. Glad I did, because now Im a huge fan.
    I love that robust spice and especially the piney type smell/taste you get from it. I'm definitely going to keep exploring them, and now I have some good recommendations on what to get next. Cheers!

  • @dawson0000
    @dawson0000 Год назад +16

    Good line up. I usually get the WT 101 Rye. It's less than $30 for a liter bottle in OR and works neat, on ice, or in a cocktail.

  • @safromnc8616
    @safromnc8616 Год назад +2

    I'd recommend the Knob Creek Single Barrel Rye altho it may be out of the price range you were trying to stay in...about $60. I also tend to lean into the higher rye mash bills as well.

  • @nefarious_saint
    @nefarious_saint Год назад +4

    Great video fellas. My go to “budget rye” is the emerald Giant by redwood empire, it’s $34 in California. Also, Michters Rye is a solid barely legal rye for bourbon fans for $42.
    Other than that, it’s Willet 4 year all day every day. Can’t be beat. With some ice, the dill really comes out, it’s wonderful.

    • @johnhicks8626

      I enjoyed the Emerald Giant as well, but you can't get it in my state and the last time I was in Cali the liquor store I went to in San Fran was selling it for $60. Will definitely pick it up again when I can find it for a good price

    When it comes to whisky, rye whiskey remains my soft spot. And it is (at least partially) your "fault", so thank you for all the information presented on the channel along the years! :) Now, as I am located in Eastern Europe (Romania), Rittenhouse is the only one available of these 5, at the equivalent of 25 USD. Other ryes that from time to time are discounted at around 30 USD are Woodford Reserve, Redemption and Bulleit (they are usually 40 USD). These taste great neat or in Boulevardiers. Keep up the good work!

  • @GOTAisMe
    @GOTAisMe Год назад +1

    By far the best budget rye that I've had is Redwood Empire's Emerald Giant. It's always under $40 ($30-$35 in my area) and better than their bourbon. It's 95/5 rye with all the spice but no harshness. Lots of burnt orange peel. Great neat or for an old fashioned. Another great rye around the same price is Rossville Union. This is MGP but it's their own brand. It's so smooth it's almost Canadian in taste. They have a higher end cask strength that is also so easy to drink that you have to go slow. It's a rye spiced bread with raisins. Very nice!

  • @Joethewino
    @Joethewino Год назад

    First of all, thank you for the videos you create. You have helped me to get into bourbon for the right reasons. I watched this video several times and decided on the Old Overholt bottled in bond. I really enjoy this bottle and have noticed that it has a flavor similar to Archway soft batch molasses cookies. For me it comes in mid palate. I tried a moonshine that was made with rye, and it had a black pepper note. I enjoyed it and was wondering which rye whiskey would have that. I originally bought a bottle of Redemption Rye trying to get that flavor.

    I didn't go through all of the comments to see if this had been suggested already, but my favorite rye by far is Old Maysville Club, which is put out by Old Pogue distillery. 100 proof, 100% rye mash bill that has been malted.

    Pikesville was hard to find around WI for awhile there. I thought I heard it had to do with the glass shortage, but don’t know that for sure. Luckily it has returned, not in huge quantities but it’s definitely around now which is good!
    That old forester, pound for pound is hard to beat. It had a ton of flavor, unfortunately I get a strong black licorice note and I do not like black licorice.
    We have the OO Bonded here in WI too, haven’t picked it up. I did grab the 114 when I was traveling that I can’t wait to crack!
    I will have to keep a lookout for the Riverset!
    Agreed about the EC Rye, it’s fine, goes down easy. Nothing too crazy.

  • @imoffthegrid2158
    @imoffthegrid2158 Год назад

    Smooth Ambler contradiction rye is a great choice. It's a $35-$40 rye, that tastes like a $55-$60 bottle. It's a blend of M.G.P ryes, non chilled filtered and 105 proof . Viscous and rich flavor.

    I've had Rittenhouse and Old Overholt Ryes. Although I'm primarily a bourbon drinker, I enjoy a good rye. Ryeskey 120 proof from Glens Creek distilling in Frankfort, KY is fantastic as is the Rye whiskey from Broad Branch distilling in Winston Salem, NC. I'm surprised you didn't mention Russell's Reserve 6 year old Rye. It is normally under $35 and is great!

    Not a rye fan currently. I only have Old Forester Rye, Pikesville and New Riff Balboa Rye. 🥃

    Good lineup. I would add Russell’s and Rare Breed ryes which are fabulous.
