Old Forester rye is my favorite personal discovery for the last couple of months.
I know and the best part is you can find it!
Great Blind Chris!! Love the Old Forester Rye!! Cheers Chris!!🥃
Thx so much! Cheers! I love it too
Just came across your videos. Keep it up, great videos! When you said Michigan my ears perked up, thats where im at too (waterford area)
Awesome brother! Thx so much for watching!
I predicted Old Forester. I love most of them!!!
Such good whiskey!
Old Forester is the bomb! Love it.
Such good stuff!
Results start around 17:10 . Excellent topic and choice of ryes, good comments on the nose and the palate, good final rankings, but the guessing game I don't find interesting at all. I like to call those "high rye bourbons" because they are so similar to a bourbon mash bill. My personal favorite is the Sazerac and I always like to have 3 or 4 bottles on hand, here it is still under $30. I also like the Old Forester 100 Rye OK, which is $22 here, but in my bottle I found a slight non-typical, off-putting chemical aroma which also translates to the taste. It is there every time I have a dram. I also like Bulleit (95% MGP) Rye, $21 here, each bottle has been different but each has been enjoyable. Plus your comments swayed me to quit looking for a WT 101 Rye, it is sold here in the 1L bottle for $30. And for others who may read this comment, I bought the Jim Beam Rye for about $17 and it is NOT worth it. I ended up adding some sticks of toasted oak and applewood for a few weeks and that turned it into a very nice whiskey. Cheers until next time.
Great insight! Even at 101 rye for that price is good value. Even number 5 is still leaps above some others on the market
First time commenting. Great blind and really enjoyed the content. Love the Old Forester Rye as well as the Wild Turkey 101 rye. After this blind I am intrigued by the other three. I have seen the Knob Creek and Rittenhouse but no luck on the Saz! Cheers!
Great tasting. The price bracket is where I like to be. I need to do it blind to be honest, but your line up is very close to where I think I would be. Maybe . Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for watching! Ya alot of great options out there for affordable ryes!
Great blind, I love when I come out of a blind tasting being surprised. Having said that, Old Forester always wins for me too
Ya I was shocked rittenhouse did as well as it did. Really wasnt expecting that.
Honestly, especially for being a lower proof, my fav SiB bourbon has to be Elijah Craig. I typically get buttery corn or popcorn, but with caramel- kettle cornish! Especially since they're generally store picks only. Feel like they make store pick SiBs more accessible than other brands. Great vid!
I love EC picks too. I've had so incredible ones!
Great video! Love OF Rye!
Thx so much! It is wonderful
Bought my first rye old forester I to really liked it
Absolutely! It's actually really good stuff at only $25
Chris, you're great at doing your thing, please just be you and don't try to be Mash and Drum guy with the cheers, let's have a sip, and all that. And if you didn't take a lesson from them, I apologize, you're just doing the exact same thing by happenstance. I hate to be that guy who levels some critical-but-constructive feedback, but I do want to help. In addition, honestly, all their hand motions over there drive me crazy, even if the bourbon talk might be on point. ;)
😂🤣ya everything is a work in progress with hr channel. I've got not problem with constructive criticism as long as tpu arnt a dixk which you dont seem to be. I love Jason too, he is one of my good buddies! The beautiful thing about whiskeytube is there is a channel for everyone that they seem to enjoy! Appreciate you watching!
OF for the Win!! Nice haircut, been liking the added content. Keep at it bro.
Thx so much! Really appreciate it!🥃🔥
I usually have Rittenhouse on hand for cocktails and as an occasional sipper, good stuff. Might have to try the Old Forrester Rye, as I wouldn’t mind finding little more rye forward value whiskey that sips nicely. I haven’t tried the Old Forester rye yet as I also found that vaguely chemical taste present in their bourbon. That being said, I think I’ll give OF rye a try, if I like it neat, add it to the rotation.
It is definetly same profile as other OF products but the barley adds a nice sweetness to it. I think you willl enjoy it!
Enjoyed the video ! Good job my friend 🥃cheers
Thank you so much buddy!🥃
Love OF Rye. However my favorite is still Pikesville.
Dude I miss your content. Hope you make a return soon.
I appreciate that! I miss it too! Just need to find time with home life and work!🥃🤞
Nice review! I knew OF Rye was going to win!!
That of goves incredible flavor for the small pricetag! Thx for watching brother!
For neat, definitely agree OF is the best budget. Bats way above it’s price
That is for sure! Love that stuff at $25
Great blind, Chris.
Thank you so much!🥃🔥
Stock all of those. Great pound for pound ryes
Absolutely! Thx so much!
Great video. I did a side by side tasting recently of Rittenhouse, Michter's Rye and Lot 40 Rye, and Rittenhouse blew the other two out of the water. It really punches above its weight! Delicious stuff. Pretty disappointed in the Lot 40 thus far. Cheers.
Nkever tried regular lot 40 only the casks strength which was great. I usually like mitchers rye, I jaut wish it was $10 cheaper
Bourbinsane Amen to that.
Initial reaction before getting into video: why is Sazerac Rye in this line-up? I've yet to see one of these in the wild.
It's crazy how allocatation works. I saw it 6 or 7 times last year alone. Already twice this year...
Yep, it is the crazy allocation landscape. For example here Sazerac Rye is readily available, every store of one distributor (SPEC's) has multiple bottlest, but no stores of the other distributor (T.W.) ever has it. Many whiskies fall into that category, readily available in some areas, extinct in others. There are many others I hear about and would like to buy but just are never available here.
@@Bourbinsane my local Costco here in CA has Sazerac Rye for $19.99 right now!
@@bman11714 Damn I would buy at least a few at that price!
Have you tried limousine rye
I don't think I have no. Worth a try?
@@Bourbinsane first time tonight and I'm liking it very tasty
Good to know. I'll keep an eye out!
Would’ve thought you’d throw a New Riff rye in this blind fight.
I dont have one and literally this week they just came to Michigan! Will have to include itnin the next rye episode!
Never mind, I believe it’s an MGP rye which isn’t bad. But totally understand why you didn’t throw MGP into this lineup! Enjoyed the video.
Actually I was wrong! New Riff is making its own rye. 95% rye 5% malted rye. No malted barley. Also saw they have a single barrel rye as well. Good stuff!
Do you trade? If so, have any interest in a 20' belle meade honey cask 115.8 proof released saturday? Thanks
I used to but not as much anymore. I know how much the honey is going for secondary and I'm not intrested in it anywhere near that. retail yes. I just can't bring myself to pay secondary prices anymore like I used to when I 1st started. if you do finally crack it open let me know what you think!
Understand. In not trying to sell I'd like to trade. If you know of anyone looking for one who is trustworthy feel free to send them my way.
@@dmott9750 will do brother! Cheers!
I would never drink Ritenhouse neat, that's just me.
Beleive me I never thought i would either
Why not Bulleit Rye?? Too many gold medals? Too great of a value?
"Mostly available". LOL. I wish.
Ya it's all relative based on where you live!
