I see it every time I hit up my local shop but for whatever reason pass it up. I think I'll give it a try next time I'm doing some buying.

I have had it...it's not too bad. I'm not a huge rye fan but don't recall disliking the AE rye. I have only had one bottle and it's been a while...I have another I just haven't cracked yet.

Have seen these two also. Tell me more about them. Convince me to buy....I'm not a tough sell

Enjoy it. Probably one of the easiest to drink ryes.

Damn Doc you just sold a bottle. Too bad I can't get it here.

I'd get John J over breckenridge...I really like John j bowman. Bowman brothers is good too if you don't want to spend on the John j.

Breckinridge is a very easy to drink bourbon that has enough complexity to keep it interesting and cheap enough to keep drinking it on a regular basis. The John Bowman is more complex and has some nice spice to it and is still a good buy even at the price point. The Bowman Brothers is a very good small batch also, but NOLAGT is right when he's pointed out that it's worth the extra cash to go for the John J single barrel.

Can get all of them here. Bowman Brothers, John J., also Abraham Bowman.

Which one is available there now? Most recent ones were Gingerbread Beer Finish and Port Finish and I heard they just released a Double Barrel in VA.
Posted on 4/9/14 at 9:37 pm to Dr Beardface
right now it's gingerbread beer finish....from what I can remember, but might need to double check next time I'm there

you're joking right? Surely you are
your collection makes me all warm and fuzzy in all the right places

I personally liked the gingerbread beer finish. I was able to pick up on some of the cinnamon and sugar tastes, but it was after some spicier whiskey which may have been why. NOLAGT was underwhelmed when I let him try it. Among the Abe Bowman releases, I think it's one of the more understated and not as sought after ones.

The gingerbread was good but idk I think if still go for the John j out of those two. And dr your collection is pretty sizable!

You ever see the angels envy cask strength in your neck of the woods?

Ok I have a theory...or a thought...whatever...
So we were talking about rye's earlier and I have some Rittenhouse (really good especially for the price..$20, but like others have said, it's doesn't stand up to some of the better rye's out there) anyway...
The label and the bottle just look so cheap to me. I think if they'd do a redesign on both, the product would taste even better. It's like when you buy a bottle of $10 wine that has a really slick label...it just 'tastes' better.
you smellin' what I'm steppin' in? Or do I just sound ridiculous? Be honest (ish)
