Noz Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 I see a Crown Royal Rye in Christmas present displays. Is it any good? Remember I am an Irish drinker. Quote
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 Get some Bulleit........ Trust me on this. OLG 2 Quote
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 Stick with the Jamesons. Although it's not Irish, you already know about Basil Hayden... Gonna pick me up some Jameson and BH tomorrow. Merry Christmas my friend! Quote
Yul Lose Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 Back in my drinking days, DalMor and Balveney scotch worked for me. Quote
Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 Tried the CR rye recently, pretty mild flavor, nothing to really distinguish itself. Make mine Glenfidich or Balveny Regards Gateway Kid Quote
J-BAR #18287 Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 Get thee to a bar for a sample; no accounting for individual tastes. 1 Quote
Sawhorse Kid Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 You are better off with Bourbons. Quote
Noz Posted December 23, 2016 Author Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) Not a big bourbon fan. That said, bottles of Basil Hayden do follow me home on occasion. Has anyone tried Angel's Envy bourbon? Thanks Slim, and to you and your's. Edited December 23, 2016 by Noz Quote
Johnny Dollar Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 I have two favorite Scotch whiskeys. Glenllivit and The Feathery. Out of those the Feathery is the best!! Quote
Chili Ron Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 Howdy, Isnt hunting part of the FUN? Best CR 1 Quote
Henry T Harrison Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 Angels Envy is excellent a little pricey for everyday swilling but a great sipping whiskey Quote
Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 Whisky or Whiskey? Without breaking the bank MaCallan 12 yr and Bulleit Rye or Bourbon. A second chance for whiskey would be Rebel Yell.....yeah its cheaper but its quality stuff. Quote
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 Whisky or Whiskey? Without breaking the bank MaCallan 12 yr and Bulleit Rye or Bourbon. A second chance for whiskey would be Rebel Yell.....yeah its cheaper but its quality stuff. The Scots spell whisky without the E. Look into Thumb Butte Distillery in Prescott, AZ. They have a number of highly rated liquors... like Escalante dark rum... and others that are rated very well. 1 Quote
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 And then there is orange juice. Quote
Noz Posted December 23, 2016 Author Posted December 23, 2016 And then there is orange juice. Add a little Tito's Vodka and it makes a pretty good drink. Quote
Jess Money Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 Should you really like to present yourself with a remarkable rye whisky, Noz, bring home a bottle of Knob Creek rye. For you bourbon advocates, be sure you buy for your cabinet... and your sipping enjoyment... the Knob Creek bourbon. 1 Quote
Noz Posted December 23, 2016 Author Posted December 23, 2016 I was sent to WalMart today so I came home with the big bottle of Jameson. Looked at the Knob Creek Rye but decided to go with what I know. Quote
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 For rye I like Rittenhouse and Wild Turkey 101. Bourbon, Bulleit or Bookers. Scotch, Macallin 12y or Highland Park 12y. Smokin Gator Quote
MAYOBARD SASS #13025L Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 Tyrconnell Single Malt Irish. Quote
Alpo Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 Mayobard nailed it. I don't drink, and that stuff's good. Quote
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) Canadian whiskey is blended whiskey and was traditionally called "rye" in Canada (I have a lot of Canadian relations), but it was not rye whiskey-- i.e., straight whiskey made with a mostly-rye mash (rye the grain, that is). "Rye" back then to a Canadian meant, simply, Canadian whiskey. Nowadays, with craft distilling, there are a lot of true rye whiskeys being made, whereas before, there were very few; Old Overholt being the main one. So when one hears Canadian whiskey now being called "rye", I'd want to be sure it was truly a rye whiskey.....not just the old nickname back for marketing purposes.

Lost Trail Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 My preferences: Whiskey - Jameson Whisky - GlenDronach Quote
Cheatin Charlie Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 I'll second Glenllivit real smooth scotch. Never could like Burbon it is too sweet for my taste. Quote
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) Rye Whiskey - Knob Creek Rye is not hard to choke down. Prefer Russell's Reserve 6 year old, though. Ditto the remarks on the CR Rye - way too mild mannered - no character. For Scotch - Talisker. No question. Edited December 24, 2016 by Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Quote

Dusty Sometimes Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 6 months ago I wasn't a whiskey drinker but this past summer I toured the Jameson factory and Guiness Brewhouse in Dublin, Ireland while on an assignment. At the end of the tour, they give you a complimentary Jameson drink with ginger ale. I'm hooked and most nights before bed I enjoy my Jameson & ginger ale as I wind down. Quote
Ethan Cord Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) Rhetoric Orphan Barrel is pretty good bourbon. For those that were asking about rye, the Woodford's Reserve is pretty tasty. Edited December 25, 2016 by Ethan Cord Quote
Lost Trail Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 You are better off with Bourbons. I can't stand bourbons. Have done side by side sampling and IMHO, bourbons are only fit to use as cleaning solvents. Quote
