Just got a Russel's Reserve barrel pick (It's Bourbon Night pick). Camp Nelson-E!
Amazing!!
Amazing!!
Last night I sampled for the first time Bushmills Bourbon Finish Irish whiskey. It was nice but to be quite honest I couldn't spot any difference from 'regular' Bushmills.
That will teach me not to fall for 'Black Friday' deals on Amazon

Sorry to derail a bit but - I’m going to host a bourbon tasting this weekend for a few friends. Can anyone suggest some high rye bourbons that you have tried and liked or would like to try?
Thanks in advance

Those are the ones I like that popped up when I google high rye bourbon
Many guys' immediate answer will be Four Roses Small Batch, but TBH it seemed very run-of-the-mill to me. For not much more $ I found Basil Hayden's much more interesting.
I think that some of the Old Foresters are high rye as well, and I've liked everything I've had from them. But you'll have to double check what's high rye there.
I like rye maybe more than bourbon, so it's weird that my favorite bourbons are not high rye.
I am not a Basil fan. I don't like the price for an 80 proof bourbon that is average. But, we all have different tastes!
I've definitely been $2.7 million nice, but that has more to do with inflation going bugf**k than my gentlemanly conduct...
Pre-Shabbat relaxing with an aperitif of Borrasca Cava, Grapefruit Vincenzi, and sparkling water, on ice, with an orange slice. Total Wine & Spirits sure has some killer sales!
Definitely gonna have a sip or two tonight!! Probably some Elijah Craig!

On the off chance you come across the lovely Barrel proof versions of Four Roses, of the ten mash bill recipes, the OBSK and OBSQ will be rye forward.

Dancing Goat Limousin Rye Honey finished. Dancing Goat is out of Cambridge Wisconsin and is doing some interesting things.
I have a Binny’s Barrel pick of RR sitting in my basement waiting for a good reason to open it. Perhaps your opinion moves it to next in line. Never had a Wild Turkey product that was not good to great/fantastic.
Old Grand Dad BiB. The 114-proof version is also very good, but the BiB is the sweet spot
Thanks for the suggestions I used to drink a lot of Basil Hayden and I still like it but I think tasting it along side some other higher proof stuff kinda ruined it for me.
I do like Old Forester quite a bit.
