Well my first try at Rebel Yell Rye last night was a roaring success. Tonight I'll be having my first go on the Rittenhouse Rye and if the reviews I've read are accurate then I'm in for a proper treat ?

I’ve heard Rittenhouse is good. Never tried it personally. Looking forward to hearing what you think about it.
Pretty much same line up as last week.
1. Glenmorangie Extremely Rare 18 yo
2. Aberlour 16yo

I used to buy Paulaner Hefeweizen, but my grocer quit carrying it.
Well guys, the Rittenhouse Rye was a huge disappointment for some reason! I really wasn't impressed at all, however it was my first and as yet only taste so I'll try again on another evening.
Perhaps my palate was off for some reason....I really don't know. The mashbill looks to be normal so either I got a duff bottle or it was simply me. I passed the bottle on to my neighbour to try tonight, meanwhile, I just poured my first ever Bulleit Rye for tonight's tipple at 10pm.....hey.....it's 10:06....got to dash guys ?

Bulleit rye is not bad. It’s been a while, but I remember it being a little dryer than their bourbon, with a mild rye spiciness.

Bladesmith, I'm in bed now but can say the Bulleit Rye I had tonight was far, far better than the Rittenhouse Rye of last night!
I shall compare the three ryes on the forum after I've had a few more tasters of each to get a fair balance.
Cheers chum and goodnight!

That's my favorite hefe!
My first ever Wild Turkey Rye and Woodford Reserve Rye arrived this morning so it will be the Wild Turkey Rye for my treat tonight at 10pm ?

Flavored vodka. Absolut Mandrin. Goes well with Frank, Sammy and Dino on my MP3 player.
It’s not just for breakfast anymore! Founder’s KBS.
Just ordered three new to me whiskies, 2 American & one Canadian.
They are McAfee's Benchmark at 40% abv, Early Times Old Reserve also at 40% abv and my first ever Canadian whisky Pike Creek 10 Year Old Rum Finish at 42% abv.
From what I can gather, the two American bourbons are at the lower end of the market though I'm perfectly fine with that but the Canadian blend is one I look forward to most of all, rum barrel finished sounds really interesting, plus it's the only spirit I will have tried from the American continent that actually has an age statement!

Fresh squeezed lemonade with a shot of Old Bushmills.
Water today ... but I forgot to post what I drank last week.
A friend and his wife came over. Both my friend and I love scotch but his wife only drinks wine or rum.
So my friend and I started with Glenmorangie Extremely Rare 18 yo and followed it up with Aberlour 16 yo Sherry Cask
I bought a huge bottle of Kraken rum for my friends wife, with the intent that whatever she does not consume that evening will be finished by me over a few months.
However after a couple of scotches, my friend and I decided to try Kraken. We were so pleasantly surprised- not only it offered a change of pace from scotch, it tastes beautiful both as a mixer as well as a sipping rum. We spent the rest of the evening drinking Kraken.
Wonderful recommendation by the forum - I think it was @chasingembers
