Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Stick with the Jamesons. Although it's not Irish, you already know about Basil Hayden...

Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life Posted December 23, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Whisky or Whiskey? Without breaking the bank MaCallan 12 yr and Bulleit Rye or Bourbon.

Jess Money Posted December 23, 2016 Share 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. Â For you bourbon advocates, be sure you buy for your cabinet... and your sipping enjoyment... the Knob Creek bourbon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted December 23, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted December 24, 2016 Share 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. Â 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. Â 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.

Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) Rye Whiskey - Knob Creek Rye is not hard to choke down. Prefer Russell's Reserve 6 year old, though. Â Ditto the remarks on the CR Rye - way too mild mannered - no character. Â For Scotch - Talisker. No question.

Dusty Sometimes Posted December 25, 2016 Share 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.

Ethan Cord Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) Rhetoric Orphan Barrel is pretty good bourbon.

Lost Trail Posted December 25, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
