Tonights line-up. Tasting some ryes and one rye blend.

I'm a fan. I think it's very well balanced. Has some good bourbon characteristics of caramel, honey, vanilla, but good rye stuff with the cinnamon and mint and a bit of mustiness with some good oak spice.

Yeah it's not a bad pour, especially for $40.

That shows the differing palates. I actually liked the Willet better than the EHT. The EHT was almost too smooth for a rye. I got the mustiness and oak spice and some of the typical spice and mint and such on the EHT, but it didn't have enough of a bite. I liked the upfront nature of the Willett and the young grain qualities and the stronger spice and mint and citrus notes.
Overall:
5. Rittenhouse: Great value, but when you taste it next to the others, it doesn't hold up as strong
4. Jefferson Chef Collaboration: Not really that fair to judge a blend next the others since they're all ryes and more up front than this smoother blend
3. EH Taylor: Like I said upfront, almost too smooth
2. Willett: Great profile and some good young characteristics
1. Jeffersons 10 year rye: Great rye with the spice and citrus and grain qualities, but mellowed by the years and also adds some great oak spice as well

Makes sense...so far I'm not a huge rye fan. I like it some for a little difference in the mix but not top choice. Probably why I like the eht because it's rye like but not as straight up as some others.

Yeah, it's funny how palates and preferred tastes change over time. I've become more fond of the higher rye content bourbons like 4 Roses. I've also started appreciating the ryes more and more. The sweeter and smoother bourbons are becoming less interesting.

And I love 4 roses...but love the wheated ones too...I just like good bourbons. Scotch...not so much...at least non yet.

Nice!

what would be a good "entry-level" rye? I do like some Four Roses, and have been tempted to buy a bottle of rye but didn't want to pull the trigger on something without asking first.
Posted on 1/23/14 at 9:21 am to LoneStarTiger
Bulleit or willet I would think.

wild turkey 101 rye is a good one but pretty hard to find these days unfortunately. Sazerac Rye isnt too bad either....it is where TH Handy comes from.
