OT: Looking for a good rye whiskey

[Huskerfan2112]

I have a long term co worker who is retiring. He is a big fan of ryes. Looking for a recommendation for a retirement gift. I want something top of the line.

thanks in advance

Templeton Rye.

 

[dew4red]

Bulleit. Is. The. Best.

 

[regoratsginrom]

Bulleit is good and not super expensive.

 

[Huskerfan2112]

Thanks for the feedback. Keep it coming. Like I said it’s a retirement gift for a good friend. Not really concerned about price.

Knob Creek Rye.. probably not the cask strength, it is a bit stout for sipping...

 

[bigboxes]

I have Woodford Reserve Rye, Knob Creek Rye and Bulleit Rye. I wouldn't consider them top of the line, but they are what you would call premium.

Whistle Pig, you can thank me later. :Cool:

Does Ten High make a rye?

Whistle Pig, you can thank me later. :Cool:

To go further, Whistle Pig Boss Hog. I know jack **** about it but googled it and said it's amazing at $500 a bottle. Sounds like you didn't care much about price so........

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Bulleit is a solid rye.. but for a special occasion rrt was spot on.. go with Whistle Pig.

 

[dochay]

Pikesville Rye or High West Rendezvous Rye.

 

[CC_Lemming]

Highwest Rendezvous. All their stuff is pretty good, so whatever you feel like spending?

 

[BeautifulDayintheNeighborhood]

I would get him some Kentucky deluxe

 

[Pennsyhusker_rivals246774]

Whistle pig is my first choice. Bulleit my second

Blanton’s and Whistlepig are top choices with top prices. For my money, EH Taylor is top notch. Spicier than the others but that is what I like about rye.

I remember to day our family doctor retired he told me "Good rye"


I miss Dr. Wakasaki

When making a horse feather can any of you tell the difference using rye vs regular whiskey?

Usually a horse feather is just whiskey, ginger beer, lime. Maybe bitters if you have them.

WhistlePig 12yr. Saw it for $110 at Sams Club

 

[Bremser_rivals74172]

Pikesville Rye or High West Rendezvous Rye.

Pikesville is superb.

 

[Shimmer003]

I’ll add Michters rye to the list. Can’t go wrong with Michters. Angels envy rye is solid but different being a rum cask. Whistle pig is old reliable but overpriced due to popularity. Basil Hayden dark rye is also very good. Templeton is fine but not what it used to be.

 

[Huskerfan2112]

Thanks for the help!

 

[Headcard]

Whistle Pig, you can thank me later. :Cool:

Yes Sir. Fantastic whiskey.

 

[AnyOneButYou]

Templeton Rye.

I agree if you get the 6 year.

 

[Fed-Up]

Moderately priced ($40-50 depending on where you buy it) ...very tasty!

 

[Redscarlet]

Templeton Rye.

This is mine as well..smooth.

 

[BigRedBugeaters]

I agree if you get the 6 year.

need to know someone in the family and get the “good stuff”.

 

[HuskerTilDeath_rivals]

Whistle Pig, you can thank me later. :Cool:

I'll refine this a bit and say Whistle Pig 12. The 10 can be good, but is somewhat inconsistent. 12 is a damn good pour every time.
