I was very disappointed with the 101 rye. Which surprised me, I found it thin. But love the Pikesville. But the best by far is the Sagamore double oak. It’s in my “I never want to be without a bottle “ list.
ОтветитьI like my rye to be spicy, otherwise I'd be drinking bourbon. The best I've found so far is Old Overholt.
ОтветитьSolid list. Pikesville runs ~$42 in my part of CA. A real bang for the buck rye IMO. I'd add Redwood Empire's "Emerald Giant" rye for ~$33 in my area.
ОтветитьI drink plenty ryes. At the moment Tumblin Dice is my favorite. It has a great flavor that sticks around. A Citrusy Pepper bomb 💣
ОтветитьGood list.
ОтветитьPerfect timing. I'm shifting towards enjoying rye over bourbon at least for now. Sagamore cask strength is so good. I'm still amazed/fascinated on how complex seagrass is.
ОтветитьWT101 is amazing for 30$ is great deal. Michters is AMAZING. but its expensive. 50$ GREAT VIDEO.,
ОтветитьDoes the OF rye have that characteristic medicinal banana that the bourbons have?
ОтветитьHave all but the Driftless Glenn, and agree
ОтветитьAlso let’s talk about willett rye
ОтветитьMichter’s should have been number 1 , 2 , 3 … if you can find single barrel or single barrel batch … let’s not even talk about their 10 year old … umumumum
ОтветитьAll great bottles
ОтветитьGreat list, no arguments. Sagamore makes several great ryes. New Riff and Skylum also making great ryes. Pursuit United ryes are delicious—both flagship rye and Oak Collection. As with bourbon, we're in a golden age of ryes.
ОтветитьThat Old Forester will kill a lot of others in blinds
ОтветитьGreat list and surprising that there are a couple I have not had yet. That said, it is only because they are not available here! The other 3, love them! Cheers!
ОтветитьOh thank goodness you had Sagamore on your list. I’m biased since I don’t live that far from there, but they really do a great job. I would actually have the Knob picks on this list. I’ve never had one that I didn’t like and the value is tremendous
ОтветитьO.F. is great on its own but even better in a drink.
ОтветитьGreat list. Shout out to Driftless Glenn and our badger state. They're making some great stuff.
ОтветитьJust finished my 101 rye last night wish I could get the rare breed my local store had it for awhile but it’s not coming in anymore? All these are great picks. I only drink them neat still great flavors from rye’s. It’s funny I get popcorn on the nose with rye whiskey often. I have a pretty decent palate and I like all whiskey have a few friends that either don’t like wheat or single malt and that shows just how different we are.
ОтветитьPikesville!!
ОтветитьI’ve never enjoyed ryes nearly as much as bourbons. Even high rye bourbons don’t match my preferred flavors. With that said, this is a good list. Cheers 🥃
ОтветитьRyes have really exploded in the last few years. I have an r/bourbon driftless glen 7 year that is phenomenal. Also, Pre-Campari buyout, I have a Wilderness Trail 6yr 7mo store pick Rye that is a world beater. Lastly, I got a Sagamore distillery exclusive 123 proof blend of mgp and their own distillate that is fantastic. So much good rye coming out these days.
ОтветитьExcellent ryes here. The Sagamore double oak is my favorite of the Sagamore lineup. The cask strength is my #2.
ОтветитьDriftless Glen for the win! I have a couple real good Dancing Goat/Limousin Ryes as well. Dang I have a lot of different brands. Yep, I'm a Rye Guy. 2 of the most interesting and unusual Ryes are Leopold Brothers 3 Chambered Rye and a small batch Dark Rye from Corsair. (they use a little chocolate malt in the mash bill) Cheers.
ОтветитьWhat the heck..no Hard Truth? For me that's better than all that there except the Sagamore😂
ОтветитьBiggest thing of your whole list - everything you listed is $60 max. I've shared your own Driftless Glen Pick (Mash & Journey) and it universally is top 10 of all time for many, including internationally. Knob Creek to me is even more underrated than Pikesville. Rittenhouse is Pikesville's little brother and even more affordable. Sagamore is like the perfect introduction to the MGP 95/5 style. What a great list.
ОтветитьAccurate tasting notes. Appreciate the video. Love that Pikesville!
ОтветитьNice one Hock! A certian store in NoCal has Pikesville for $39.99, Love it! I would add Emerald Giant which is $29.99 here, Cheers!
ОтветитьLove the lists. Shows how people have different palates and actually may uncover some gems for others. My 5 right now -
Willet 4 year
OF 100
Laws
Rossville Union
Barrell Seagrass
I'm gravitating towards ryes as opposed to bourbons right now and want to try most all on others' lists!
I don't really like Rye Whiskeys. Not sure why. They taste like dill pickles to me. The only one I have really like is the Sazerac Rye.
ОтветитьIm a big fan of the OF 100 rye. Love sagamore. I still haven’t tried the pikesville yet though. Cheers
ОтветитьThe wild turkey rye is a sleeper. Also love Rittenhouse for the price point. Sagamore double oaked is amazing as well. Really wish it came in cask strength
ОтветитьGreat list although Pikesville doesn't agree with my pallet.
ОтветитьHa, before the vid started, my first thought was Driftless Glen. Don't know the reg line but my private SiB is an absolute killer. This was meant to be a budget/mid price easy-to-find list?
ОтветитьGreat list for me I would go Sagamore, JDSBBP Rye, Wilderness Trail Rye. Been hearing good things on hard truth and driftless glen
ОтветитьI've enjoyed the Driftless Glen 51. Our bourbon society in GB (Great Britain) was able to source bottles and we did a tasting, along with being able to buy either the bourbon or rye (I ended up with the bourbon). I really enjoy my Sagamore ryes (rum finish & cask strength) and New Riff Balboa the most, though I also like my Angel's Envy Rye too.
ОтветитьAnother good option can be New Riff, Hard Truth, JD SBBP RYE, Emerald Giant by Redwood Empire.
I need to try Driftless Glen and Pikesville. Thank you for the recommendations. 🎉
Great bottles. I only have 4 Ryes in my collection. My first Rye was Old Forester 100 Proof Rye. I then picked up Pikesville, which I really like. The New Riff Balboa Rye is fantastic and makes me want to try more ryes. I recently picked up an SLB Drinks Sagamore 7 Year Rye pick and it is pretty darn good. I prefer Bourbon to Ryes, but may try more. 🥃
