Rye Whiskey Recommendations

Re: Rye Whiskey Recommendations

You picked-up a bottle huh Doc? Yea I was pretty impressed as well. May have mentioned I was out with the new wife on Friday night, had one made with Knob Rye, it was pretty good, but Templeton (on my palate) was much better. Looking forward to a couple Manhattan's this weekend.

I don't drink mixed drinks, just sip straight spirits. I wouldn't know an old fashioned from a martini. But I know Templeton Rye is some luscious nectar! Got a bottle this afternoon out of curiosity, from ya'll talking about it. I drink very little, maybe an ounce or two once or twice a week. So might as well seek out the good stuff.

No doubt, Doc - Midleton Irish, indeed! Cha-ching!! I got to sample some at a scotch tasting a few years back. Nice, very nice. I didn't plunk down the coin for a bottle, but I did come home with the nice wooden box the bottle we were sampling came out of! Sits on the top shelf of my bar to oogle.

Glad to hear that the Templeton is a hit!

Hi, Larry!! Glad to see you back; been a while, bud!

 

I've also added a couple more to my bar - Michter's US*1 Kentucky Straight Rye.

And Willett, which has become one of my favorite distilleries, toured there last summer.

Yes, the 2 biggest improvements were the sink (Hallelujah!) and the burner. Now, I don't have to haul all my gear upstairs to the kitchen anymore, then haul it all back downstairs and try and clean everything in the bathroom shower! As a consequence, I am brewing significantly more often than before the brew room, at least 3 times as much!!

Tony, remember the days when you added 0.5t of sugar to each bottle☺

 

And I had the bottle bombs to prove it! Now, there are pre-measured tabs that look like cough drops - one per 12oz bottle, 2 in a bomber. But, most of the time, if I naturally carbonate, I measure out the total amount and add to the whole batch, just before kegging. My software tells me how many grams of corn sugar to get the carbonation level I want for the beer style.
