Even though I dropped 100 on whiskey yesterday, probably do the same again today or tomorrow.
Get some of that Basil Hayden (spelling?) dark rye whiskey.
Maybe get a bottle of Dickel's rye to compare it to as well.
I'll report back.

Picked up a bottle of Bulliet today. A decent enough every day sipper. My local store doesn’t have much selection though so I take what I can get. I’m actually not a big fan of Maker’s. I’m probably in the minority on that.
Cheers,
Geoff

And maybe some absinthe. Dangerous stuff that. Cheers, Geoff |

There was a rye called Ri at one of my stores. I tried it and it was good although very dry. It needed a little water and to breath a few minutes for the flavor to open up.
Also, Woodford Reserve is a fine drink for not much money.

I bought some Buffalo Trace last night...it's a really good spicy one...but man, I could drink half a bottle of the Basil Hayden Dark Rye without knowing it.

Don't know if you can find many bottles outside of Utah, but look for Sugarhouse Rye. This whisky's claim to fame is the use of malted rye in the finish. As a result it's got a little bit of fruitiness to it. One of my favorite ryes.

Johnkenn, we were almost neighbors last year. But although that didn't come to pass (yet) we drank the same tonight albeit in different quantites for me. Two shots (or was it 3) of Buffalo Trace with a 1/2 and 1/2 BH Dark Rye and Coke-Life. Smooth as silk and the finish is beautiful an hour later.
