Gonna pick up a bottle of that and a bottle of Saz6 real soon. Thanks again for the review.

Dickel and Bulleit are both LDI but Dickel gets charcoal mellowing. Bought a very Limited Collingwood 21YR Rye a couple days ago. Not impressed. Picked up a Thomas H. Handy last night but haven't opened it. I've read it is the exact same thing as Saz6 but not watered down. I consider myself a rye fan but have been very put off lately to learn how many of these are distilled/aged by the same people and how many are Canadian. So many are LDI or AP (Alberta Premium). Rittenhouse is probably the one I really need to try but I'm not putting out that much money. At least not right now. I've been eying Masterson's but am still leary. Jefferson's aligns themselves with some good product historically, so at this price point I'm inclined to put it up against Saz6. Thanks for the review.

I also liked the Jefferson's 10-year and the Rittenhouse 100. I'm primarily a single-malt woman, myself, but enjoyed these three ryes very much.In Great Spiritshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16277971652423670417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1506238478350135756.post-66076653777875084662013-07-22T12:02:05.766-04:002013-07-22T12:02:05.766-04:00Up until eight months or so ago, I was a complete ...Up until eight months or so ago, I was a complete rye virgin... never had a drop. I was at a Christmas party and the gentleman at the bar with me ordered a brandy old fashioned "sweet". It sounded good to me at the time, so I ordered one as well. Then I saw that there was a bottle of Jim Beam rye, and asked that he use that for my old fashioned. What a difference it made! I liked it a lot. A few weeks later I was in a bar and noticed a bottle of Templeman's. I have some friends in Iowa that RAVE about it, so I gave it a try (straight up, no ice). Meh... nothing to write home about. <br /><br />There is a fine liquor store in town that I will frequent on occasion, and on my next trip there I purchased a bottle of Jefferson's. Whoa!!! Now THIS I LIKE!! I have had two bottles since then, and have also tried a few others. <br /><br />The less expensive DICKELS was okay drinking it straight, but nowhere as nice as the Jefferson's, which is now my "benchmark" for rye whisky. As a mixer though it's just fine. Next I tried BULLEIT, which again I though was good but not great. Currently I'm working my way through a bottle of RYE ONE, which is more to my liking than the Dickel or Bulleit, but probably not as tasty to me as Jefferson's. It is smoother I guess, with some good flavor but with less of the unique "bite" that comes with the rye.<br /><br />The hunt continues!Bob Maynardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1506238478350135756.post-27422192463902682132013-06-17T17:04:59.631-04:002013-06-17T17:04:59.631-04:00Happy Father's Day!

I believe you are correct in your assumption that foods affect our palate, additionally, the time of day/temperature, our "state of mind", and so many other variables almost guarantee that any libation won't taste exactly the same twice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15140872810824862387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1506238478350135756.post-68762245126827623252013-05-22T23:26:28.768-04:002013-05-22T23:26:28.768-04:00I've had mixed experiences with ryes: some goo...I've had mixed experiences with ryes: some good, some astoundingly terrible. Then I tried Whistle Pig. General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics were reconciled. All my birthdays came at once. It was perfect. Absolutely perfect. <br />Well, the *taste* was perfect. The price was beyond my wallet's capacity and I was compelled to ration it like the last canteen of water in a trek across the Sahara.<br /><br />Having said that, I cannot overemphasize my utter surprise when reading this review and sampling my first bottle of Jefferson Rye. The night I bought it, I thought it was very good. For $32, it was freakin' amazing!<br />--BUT--<br />The second night, it was completely different. I'm still not sure whether it was the foods I'd eaten earlier, the temperature of the whiskey or what, but it had *none* of the lip-tingling street-fight-in-a-bottle bite of a pure rye whiskey. <br /><br />My main point in writing is to ask if anyone else has had such a night-and-day experience from one bottle.Pittsboro Sizershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16568971592774026590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1506238478350135756.post-91239434859556668262013-05-22T23:25:18.620-04:002013-05-22T23:25:18.620-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Pittsboro Sizershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16568971592774026590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1506238478350135756.post-18182654061448671622013-03-23T07:14:19.725-04:002013-03-23T07:14:19.725-04:00Got 'em.
