If you can find it, Old Overholt is great, and under $20...

I recently had a chance to try Angels Envy Rye. It was fantastic.

I'll throw in my two cents. High west double rye. Bulliett. Templeton. Willet. Col Taylor. All very good. Rye and bourbon. My two faves with a good stick.

  You need some of this to help keep you warm.

You should hurry up and acquire the cigar habit. It's one of the major happiness's. And so much more lasting than love, so much less costly in emotional wear and tear.
Aldous Huxley

Maybe it's like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it; everything fades away: your worries, your problems, your thoughts. They fade into the smoke, and the cigar and you are at peace.

Raul Julia

I think I saw a bottle of that the last time I was at the Party Source down in Kentucky... I'll have to grab some the next time I'm there.

Looks like I'm resurrecting this one!

My go-to is Sazerac 6 since it's always in stock at a store about 25 minutes away. I also always have a bottle of Bulleit and George Dickel knocking around, they're both great for the pric. When I'm not under the watchful eye of the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (and their state-run stores) I'll pick up High West Double, but it's surprisingly hard to get around here. My last bottle came home with me from Las Vegas.

Two local oddballs that I'm quite fond of: Wigle Deep Cut from Pittsburgh (wonderful treacle, molasses, orange, cinnamon and wood) and Five & 20 from Westfield, NY (LOADS of vanilla and spice). I'm down to my last bottle from the 1st batch of Five & 20 so I'll be picking up some of their 2nd batch soon. They have a great bourbon, too.

I'm also a fan of wheated bourbons. Been dying to try Larceny but it's nowhere to be found around here and (thanks again to my PA liquor overlords) I can't mailorder wine or spirits.

If you are able to consistently get Sazerac then count yourself lucky.  That stuff's as rare as hens teeth around here.  As far as trying Larceny I had some a while back and it was killer.  A buddy of mine bought it and we were very pleasantly surprised.  On the rye front, I've been enjoying Michters Single barrel Us*1.  I'm just pretty sure it may be one of the best rye whiskey's for making up an Old Fashioned, that I've come across so far.

Surprisingly, I'm the only customer who consistently buys it. I'm not sure how they do it but every time I need a bottle it's on the shelf (they also do a fantastic job of keeping me stocked on Flor de Cana rums), so yeah, I consider myself very lucky!

I love bourbons, all kinds, and trying new ones is one of my favorite past-times (see the "What Do You Do" thread for reference).  I will say, one of my top favorites is Rock Hill Farms single barrel, and for the price point its great.  Highly recommended.

Larceny is, IMHO, only decent.  A little flat, a little bland.
Something to drink if there is no good whiskey available.

Rock Hill has been on my to-try list!Geez, I see so many names on that list that have corresponding bottles in my liquor cabinet right now... Blanton's, Buffalo Trace, Elmer Lee, Hancock's, Sazerac, Stagg Jr., Pappy 20 Year, & W.L. Weller Special Reserve. I guess I never really stopped to pay attention to how many of their products I've bought.

Thanks for your thoughts! Hopefully I can run into a bar or restaurant in Buffalo, NY that carries it so I can try just a few ounces instead of committing to a full bottle.

Has anyone tried the 1776 Pepper Rye? Just had their rye barrel aged stout recently and loved it.

Class 6 here on the US base I work on now has Bulleit Rye, so I picked up a bottle to try.  They also had Crown Royal 3L (!) bottles on sale for under $43.  What a bargain!  I couldn't pass that up.  I would have bought two, but  I have to wait to buy more because liquor is rationed on the base and I have to wait until next month to buy more.  :singing:

Found some Whistlepig and last bottle of Angels rye disappeared today?

Picked up a bottle of Chestnut Farm (Looks like Eagle Rare) that is pairing extremely well with my Viaje Satori.
