Rye Whiskey

I'll take Rye Whiskey before most of those any day.....that's why there's so many types of booze to choose from!
Some thing for everybody!

What types of rye's have you had?
You do other types of whiskeys (aside from scotch)?

I always have rum on hand because I love me some mojitos, vodka's drinkable if that's all there is, haven't got too far into scotch, haven't touched tequila since college, and gin reminds me too much of Pine-sol cleaner. LOL

I typically only drink scotch, occasionally irish, and I cannot stand bourbon. However, the proprietor of my local high end spirit shop poured me short glass of some High West Rendezvous to give rye a try and I thought it was very good. I may have to look into some other ryes. That one certainly peaked my interest.

Bottle of it on the work bench right now. Bourbon is sweet. Scotch is smoky. Rye is spicy. Goes real well with those wonderful bargains, the Fonseca Aranas. Tastes like that wrapper right there. A zing. Super good for making whiskey sours, cause the rye flavor stands out in a mix.

+1 - I like all whiskey. All have their own uses. Scotch is my favorite because of the subtleties of the single malts, I like to mix drinks with rye because of the spiciness and dryness . Sourmash is good for getting stupid with the guys, and bourbon is for women. JK

I'm thinking 40 years since last I tried the Rye. Love Scotch, genetic I suppose, as about 90%of my genetic background is Highland Scot, the rest is Irish coast and a smidgin of Cherokee. Bourbon, as said above, is sweet, to me, and I like many Rums and a few Brandy's.

There are one or two brands of tequila I can take in very small amounts, and anything clear, I stay away from. Especially gin. I've gotten drunk on Gin twice in the last 40 years, very little memory of either occasion, but I did lose some friends.

Gin will make you sin!

I spent a night in a hotel fascinated by this show and Amish Mafia (how bad is this sort of reality TV, really?). Loved Jim Tom.

Haven't had Sazerac .... there's a local distillery that makes a killer rye. Could sip on it all day.

mmmmmm....Rye Whiskey. Good stuff.

Bullet makes a damn good cheap Rye. I like to work it into the mostly bourbon mix.
Guess I really love all whiskey, dont spend much time with the others.

Awesome.

Thanks to this thread i'm now on a rye kick. I've been a long time bourbon drinker and recently had the Angels Envy port barrel...holly crap! you could sniff the glass all night and still pick out diffrent flavors, awesome stuff. Finished a bottle of Bulliet rye with the pops in law last weekend and really like the taste so i picked up a botle of Wild Turkey rye this afternoon. Havent had any yet but the bottle arome is pretty damn tasty.

Wild Turkey Rye is my stand by, when I'm low on funds, it is delicous.

I was just planning on picking up a bulleit rye to try. Had the orange label abd really like it, and wanna try a rye whiskey

Love that goodness! thats my everyday Juice!

I'm pretty fond of Pendleton Rye, even though it's bottled in Canada and then sent back here.

Any body have experience with Old Overholt ..... thoughts???

Wild Turkey seems to be the go-to choice for this price range ..... but I'm thinking about this one as it's new to me.
