Bulleit
Whistlepig
10 Year Straight Rye Whiskey
Intense ethyl acetate and toluene nose. Black pepper and a lot of heat. Oak finish with subtle caramel and vanilla. To be totally honest, while good, this whiskey is too bombastic and one dimensional. I think Bulleit Rye is at least as good at a quarter of the price. I look forward to trying the older Boss Hog. — 7 years ago
Lost Republic Distillery
Healdsburg Straight Bourbon Whiskey 2001
Currently sipping batch LRB40 at 91 proof. For a bourbon distilled in California I have to say I'm impressed. The nose is a little on the rye side. The palette is a little spicy, giving way to brown sugar and a little latent salted butter. Although not as rich, If you like Bulleit barrel strength, or Whistle Pig, you will like this; especially at the comparable respective price points. A little longer on the barrel might yield a little more depth and richness. Nicely executed for a young bourbon. — 6 years ago
Blanton's Distilling Co.
The Original Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
A favorite choice in my Old Fashions. Crisp, clean, with a nutty tang that can linger even without the use of bitters in a cocktail. This stands on its own with just some whiskey stones. Less caramel-y than Angel's Envy and smoother than Bulleit. — 8 years ago

Bulleit
Small Batch 95 Frontier Straight Rye Mash Whiskey
Out of the three Rye Whiskey samples that we tried this was my favorite. Keeping in mind that I was a "Rye Whiskey Virgin" until that night, so I'm no expert. But I do know what I like. It was smooth out of the glass, had a nice nose, and wasn't over powering. Jeff and I agreed, and ranked this one 1st. — 9 years ago
