Sipping on some Four Roses Old fashioned's this evening and feelin' fine! Having only tasted Pappy a couple times i'd say the hype outweighs the price by miles. Gimme some Weller or Black Maple Hill at a fraction of the price for the single barrel quality.

Have any of you tried High West - A Midwinter Night’s Dram? My local has a few bottles coming in soon and will put one aside for me. Wondering if it’s worth the price tag.
high west is local, for me. Haven’t tried that one but they make good spirits.
If I had known then what I know now...

Anyone try Conor McGregor's product yet? Apparently people are buying it, drinking it, then selling the empty bottles on ebay for more than the full bottle cost.

Show off! I always see the Stagg on the lists of "best bourbons" but never had it. Looks like something J.R. Ewing would drink, not that there's anything wrong with that.

I've got a bottle. It's pretty good. I like a number of High West products, this one was a little disappointing for the price. If you mellow it out with a splash or a cube, the flavor comes out more.
These are some really nice ryes if you get the chance to try them. Both are sweeter then the Hayden’s and not as spicy on the tongue, but a nice finish I wouldn’t pass on any of the three to be honest.

I've heard great things about Michters and is on my short list of things to try.
My favorite rye’s that aren’t crazy expensive are Michters and High West Double rye. Both should be found under $50 and are pretty good.

I like Rye. I drink Bulleit rye and use rye for manhattan's. Can anyone speak to MPG and the differences between the various rye's made in that factory? I know they make basically every Rye on the shelf, at various price points, so I am curious if there is actually much of a difference and if so, are those differences just blending and such? Like I am sure there are plenty of differences between ages, but I am sure you could find a two 12 years at very different price points. Is there a difference?
Tough to see how so many "companies" could make different rye coming from the exact same mass distiller.

Different times putting it in the barrel. Different wood for the barrel. Different methods of distilling. Temperature that it ages at.
Lots of different factors go into it.
Buffalo Trace is doing something unique and exploring how and if slight differences can really alter the end taste.

Enjoy those!!!
I'm a little upset but they might still get some...
That is still a great haul!!!
Pretty damn good. Recommended by my local.
Anybody else ever try this?!?
If you enjoy a bourbon I don't see any reason for you not to enjoy rye.

Here is a great article but will most likely be hard to find at first.
