This past weekend I just bought a bottle of Evan Williams 1783 because it was cheap and I would likely leave the bottle at the tailgate I was at. I know regular Evan is pure pisswater, but I had actually heard decent things about it and Evan Single Barrel. It was $11 for a 5th, and it was pretty good! Fantastic value, but I had a ****ty hangover the next day. Not sure if it's because I got day drunk, sobered up, and then got drunk again, or if it was just the whiskey.
I like it, but haven't really had any high quality rye stuff. Do you have any recommendations?
My top 3 whiskeys are Elijah Craig 18 year, Blantons and W.L. Weller limited edition 2009 (~130 proof).
Sazerac Rye is a classic.
Some other good ones:
Michters Rye | Rye Whiskey | Best Rye
Russell's Reserve Rye
Pm me if you're serious.
It's a great sipping whiskey. Smooth with a great flavor from the charred oak barrels they age it in.
The distillery let's you sign up to volunteer to bottle for a day, they give you a bottle for your troubles. I've been on that list for a while now...
George Dickel Barrel Select or Makers Mark are my go to bourbons, but every once in a blue moon I'll drop $ 160.00 for a bottle of Black Maple Hill 16 yr Old Small Batch Bourbon, it's the best there is hands down.
Jack Daniels is the most overrated bourbon on the planet IMHO.
