    Basil Hayden's Dark Rye, is a pretty decent one, so is Knob Creek small batch Rye. I would pick 4-5 Ryes you might like, I would do $60 and under, and do a blind taste test of them head to head so that way, there will be no outside influence at all on which one you ultimately like the best.

  • @Armadaninja
    @Armadaninja8 ай бұрын

    Couple things, definitely do a rye edition and also do a cask strength edition. You seemed to like higher proof so Cask Strength seems up your alley. For ryes, sagamore double oak is amazing, Rittenhouse rye, rare breed rye, Sazerac rye, all good options Also, if you want to smell less alcohol, when you go to smell it, open your mouth slightly, it should be less harsh.

    For under $30 the new Jack Daniel’s bonded rye is phenomenal! Ryes are generally 2 categories. Straight or finished. Finished ryes are fun to try because there’s so many of them. For a finished rye I’d highly recommend Barrel Seagrass. It’s not cheap but it’s worth it.

    I am more of a Woodford Reserve Evan Williams myself, but love all bourbons. If you want some rye in it, Woodford Reserve has some. I want to say 30%. Not under $40 though I don't believe, more in the $45 range. The Double Oak is the bomb, but definitely not under 40, more in the $55-$60 range, but worth every penny. Of course any bourbon is not going to be all rye, or mostly rye, as in order for it to be called bourbon it has to be at least 50.1% corn. Pretty sure Woodford is 55% corn, 30% Rye, 15% barley. Been awhile since I have been there. They do make a Rye Whiskey however.
