THH vs. Willett Family Estate and/or Pikesville
Redemption 10yr barrel proof rye 👍🏽
This.
@@davidwilliard1724 is this still being released annually?
@@motyelrom Yes, batch 4 recently released
Pikesville, Willett 4 year, Stellum.
Nulu/Nashville 7 year rye
Willet family estate 4 or 7 year, or sagamore double oaked
Jd Heritage 2020
Wilderness Trail Rye
Pikesville or Woodinville?
I hope the knob creek cast strength or I would be an automatic in. After that I really enjoy rare breed rye and Stellum rye. Both outstanding ryes and they are available. They are also higher proof so they might be able to compete with the Thomas handy.
Pikesville or Rare Breed Rye
Jack Daniels TN Taster Barrel Proof Rye would be interesting to compare. It’s so good and totally available here in TN.
I second this
How about Willett FE Rye 4 year comparison?
Dad's Hat Founders Selection
Nashville barrel CO. 9yr rye !!!! Please
New Riff Balboa rye
Echoing others; Pikesville, KC cs rye, & WT rare breed rye. Hopefully I’ll find this on a bar list to try!! 🤞🏻🍀
Love me some Pikesville.
Not gonna lie, been a while since I've had a good Handy
Stellum rye, willett 4 year rye
Yep, was going to suggest these two!
I was lucky enough to pick one of these up at a lottery. Haven't opened it yet. It is my current special occasion bottle. Thankfully I love ryes.
+1 on the Pikesville
JD Barrel Strength Rye 2020 and Balcones Cask Strength Rye.
Wild Turkey Rare Breed Rye might be a good comparison.
Willett, although hard to find or EH Taylor Rye
Old Forester Single Barrel Barrel Proof Rye
Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof Rye (2020 release)
Nashville Barrel Company Single Barrel Rye (a pick)
Wild Turkey Rare Breed Rye
I was lucky enough to get a bottle of Handy last year at something close to MSRP in a lottery. Really enjoyed it and IIRC, you gave it good marks too. This is one that I have some very strong recommendations for a blind comparison. I've had all of these and while they are a little hard to find you of all people should be up to the task.
1) Kentucky Owl Rye batch 01 - Might have to substitute the batch 4 which I know is still available but 01 was the best. 01 was hands down the best rye I have ever had.
2) Willett 6 year old family reserve sing barrel - these are going to vary by barrel but usually amazing.
3) Leopold Bros Bottled in Bond Three Chamber Rye Whiskey - This might be at a disadvantage at only 100 proof but the mouth feel and flavor could still be a winner. Very unique.
4) Redemption Barrel Proof Rye Whiskey Aged 10 Years batch 02 - Yeah I know this is MGP but this 116 proof 95% rye is just outstanding.
The stellum rye is absolutely excellent
THH Rye vs Knob Creek CS Rye 9yr.
Jd special release 2020 barrel proof rye!
Nice review. Suggesting Rare Breed rye in a blind with the Handy.
Knob creek cask strength or a WhistlePig store pick
Rossville barrel proof, knob rye cask strength, wilderness trail rye
Compare it to Traverse City Barrel Proof Straight Rye 115.8 proof.
Old Carter Rye
I had a bottle of 2016 Thomas H. Handy.... that was very very good. But I suggest
The Senator Barrel Proof 2020.
123.2 Proof/ 61.60...
That's just me.
Drams Up.
Aldo Gómez from San Diego
I love the “1880’s whiskey” comment… “How whiskey used to be”.
Mitchers barrel proof rye
knob creek cask strength does not say "straight" on it, did you know that?
JD barrel strength rye gets my vote for the blind battle!
Just going to repeat some of what's been said - Knob Creek cask strength rye, Willett Rye (make sure it's above 110 proof at least), Dad's Hat cask strength, and if you can get it Law's cask strength.
New Riff Malted Rye
2013 THH is one of my all time favorites so hopefully I’ll find a bottle of the 2021 at a restaurant/bar so I can give it a try.
Doubt I’m ever going to see or taste this in my area. Could you name a good replacement rye please.
At that proof point, maybe the Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye? The one I'd really like to see, though, (knowing full well it's not easy to find) would be a comparison up against the Old Carter Rye.
First things that came to mind were WT Rare Breed Rye and Knob Creek Cask Strength Rye.
New Riff 6 year Malted Rye
"Woohoo there, Thomas H. Handy, what's your name??"
His name is Thomas H. Handy, you literally just said it, Fred.
Dads hat cask strength!
2020 JD Barrel select single barrel barrel proof rye
“My favorite handy since 2013” 😂 😂
Wilderness Trail Barrel Proof Rye and Peerless Barrel Proof Rye
New Riff Single Barrel Rye
Four Gate Rye
Dang, 129.5 proof Rye? Most UCUF Cask strength is still sub 120... I live near Woodinville, so I would say the Woodinville CS Rye (the standard is at least 5yr, the one available now at the store is 119.82pf). Maybe a Wilderness Trail Barrel Proof is more available. Or a Catocin Creek Roundstone.
Russell's Reserve Rye, Remus Repeal V, Jack Daniel's Barrel Proof Rye, Manifest Wheated Rye cask strength would all be interesting blind comparisons
ILOK aka LOKI
Favorite Handy since 2013!? You should hit up Robert Kraft for some parlor recommendations.
Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof Special Release Rye
Wild turkey Rare breed rye!
How about Whistle Pig 18 Year? And or 15 Year?
I think he said it has to me and American rye. But not 💯 percent sure.
Rare Breed Rye
JD Barrel Proof Rye
I thought cherry cough syrup note was the reason you DIDN'T like the Old Forester Single Barrel Barrel Proof Rye? What makes this different?
It wasn’t as dominant here. But good memory
The best Rye I can think of is Knob Creek Rye. As someone who doesn't enjoy many Rye's I may not be the best person to ask.
Old Elk Rye
WT Rare Breed.
Roseville rye cask strength, Wyoming rye, rare breed rye. Boom!
The Rye of LOKI!
JD BP SB rye
Peerless Rye
