Hey guys -- friend asked me for a Rye suggestion. She has had Bulleit regularly, and it is her go-to rye because she's not found anything better. I asked the guys at Avenue and they suggested High West Son of Bourye, Knob Rye, and Wild Turkey Rye.

The High West is gonna be scarce where she is. She described the Wild Turkey as, "It's like Folgers coffee -- tastes like all the pre-ground unimpressive stuff out there, but if someone serves it to me I certainly won't turn it down." So run-of-the-mill. Is there a particular rye you'd recommend? She wants something she can drink more or less daily, so I guess I'm asking for value.
