I really enjoyed this video. I'm 62 years old, recently retired, and had never had a rye in my life! Since watching this video I've tried the Old Forester, the Rare Breed, the Sagamore and the Bullet. I've been missing out. These ryes are great. 🙂 I appreciate your attitude of "Whatever you like to drink, however you like to drink it." So here's one for you: My favorite rye drink, so far, is Bullet; mixed half-and-half with Diet Dr. Pepper, on the rocks. :-) I'd love to see the look on Trenton's face when you tell him about that one! :-) Keep up the good work!

I got some Pikesville awhile ago based on your recommendation and it really is a winner. Back in the '80s there were only two or three ryes generally available--Old Overholt, Wild Turkey, and Beam. Rye just wasn't a thing back then, but it's really exploded in popularity in the past few years.

First time trying rye, Old Forester then Bulleit. I was expecting OF to be the better, but Bulleit was hands down the winner for me. On a block of ice with just a couple of teaspoons of water it mellowed perfectly. With just two drops, (literally,) of bitters and one half teaspoon of Cinzano, the Bulleit released the most pleasant orange peel and bakery spice flavors with great aroma. The Bulleit was the best Manhattan ever for me, the Old Forester, meh, not so much. Really, I was surprised at the difference. Your videos led me to try rye for the first time, love it, thanks. I really enjoy your shows. Patrick

Hey Kurt, love the video! I do love me some rye. I did see you missed my Great-Grandma's 100% cereal rye recipe, which is known as Sextro Rye. We are a small batch rye distillery that veterans owned and made the way whiskey was made in the 1920s. She was a true American that used whiskey to save our family's farm. Her legacy is part of the Templeton bootleggers who were known to have sold rye whiskey to Al Capone during prohibition. I can guarantee you have never had a rye like this, so lets take trip back into history with Sextro Rye. Cheers!!

I could see the Sagamore, because I got the straight rye and was surprised by how tasty and smooth it was (even if it doesn't have a lot of oomph flavorwise). I'd think some Whistle Pig would get honorable mention. The 10 year private barrel, barrel select (Total Wine) is excellent (and much better than the ordinary 10 yr small batch)...although it's gone up in price and is now tickling $100. The Whistle Pig Piggyback 6 yr is an affordable option. The James E. Pepper 1776 straight rye 100 proof rye is a great, affordable, MGP option.

As usual, great video, and one that I've been looking forward too. I've has most of these but not all of them. I love the Pikesville, OF and New Riff. Been wanting to try the Sangamore and the Wild Turkey. A few others that I would add to the list of great Rye Whiskey's for the money that I really like are Rossville Union, (I have a Binny's store pick that is just fantastic $54.99), Blaum Bros. (Galena, IL distillery $49.99) and Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Rye ($65.99). Would love to see you guy's do a blind rye tasting with these too.

Templeton Rye 10yr and Barrel Proof are delicious in my opinion.

I am not a rye fan, however the bulliet rye and the basil hayden rye are by far my 2 favorites.

Thanks SLB for the Rye Review!! Since you are presenting your best "valued" Rye whiskies, I won't get all disappointed that you did not present Willet. I have seen you have Willet in past episodes and based on that, I picked up a few at the distillery at my first visit last month (can't find in MI). Is it possible you don't feel Willet is a good value at its price-point? Just curious. Great show as always.

I feel Willet is a fantastic buy in the 60 dollar range! I left it out only because of its exclusivity. I rarely see it in my area. The last couple bottles I bought in Kentucky.

Thank you for putting Pikesville on the list. Rittenhouse & Pikesville are both Heaven Hill products. I drink Pikesville neat and use Rittenhouse for mixing. I would have put Wild Turkey Rye 101. It's less than $30 as a liter in my city. It works great neat or as a mixer. The Old Forester Rye is definitely one of my favorites. Is New Riff at $70 per bottle than Knob Creek Single Barrel at $51? Great content as always.

As usual…loved this video! I’ve really been enjoying the unique flavor of Ryes lately. First loves were OF rye and WT 101 rye which are always in the bar. But then I had Rare Breed rye. Amazing! Will have to give Dickel and New Riff a try. Loved your description of those! Great job!

Another great lineup 👏 Can't believe that you didn't include Wild Turkey 101 Rye for the price point even though you chose it's big brother Rare Breed. Haven't pulled the trigger on the Sagamore or Rittenhouse yet so maybe soon .

Man that has to be a personal preference for sure. Everything about thst one screams additives for flavor. It's just way too sweat. It's tastes just like maple syrup. I bet it makes a killer old fashioned without having to add sugar.
