Buffalo Trace Distillery

Sazerac Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

Severn Goodwin

9.3

How does anyone not hoard (regular) Sazerac at ~$25?!
Incredibly smooth, great sweet note to the finish. Again, why haven't I not been buying this for years...?

(BTW Kirkland Bourbon at $30 is worth the price of admission, earthy oak note on the palate is quite similar to Buffalo Trace.)

Yes to Rye, my ‘go to’ for a category I don’t venture into often.

Surprisingly Eagle Rare 10 is highly allocated this year if you’ve had in the past. One bottle only on K&L

Daniel Bloom

Nice assortment, if I remember correctly,
Kirkland 12 yr scotch is McCallan.

Shockingly pure and elegant! A touch rustic, this western MD grown PV is a totally spot on for varietal correctness! It’s not the most luxurious build, but the flavors are just beautiful. Purple everything ;) Hat tip — 4 years ago

Wolves Whiskey Collaborates With Willett

On The Rye Project Volume One Whiskey

Paul T HB

9.6

,

The Rye Project is Wolves’ first product offered into traditional distribution. Volume One is in collaboration with Willet Family Estate. The Rye Project is anchored by a very low-content rye whiskey distilled in Indiana and aged for 6 years in new American oak. No barrel finishes, no gimmicks. Wolves aims to deliver straightforward and balanced expressions of the best Rye in the world, in a low-rye format.

Upon Acquisition, the barrels were sent to Sonoma County for further aging. Then, Wolves and Willet Master Distiller, Drew Kulsveen, selected barrels of 7 and 6 year straight Rye whiskey from the Willet Family Estate reserve.

The custom cork top was inspired by the knob of a baseball that is a family heirloom of Jon Buscemi, while the label was created in partnership with a bespoke wine label maker in Sonoma County.” — 2 years ago
