Riverset Straight Rye Whiskey Single Barrel (r/Bourbon selection)
Rye — Tennessee , USA
Reviewed July 9, 20222022 r/bourbon pick. 5yr, 118 proof. Sweet honey and orange and nose with just a touch of heat. Taste of pepper, cherry, oak, and cola. The rye heat dances a little and lingers on my tongue. This bottle was very enjoyable and consistent throughout.53.0 USD per Bottle -
Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 2014
Bourbon — Bardstown, USA
Reviewed June 3, 2022 (edited November 12, 2022)Flavorful considering for a sub 90 proof whiskey with notes of oak, vanilla, and a little marshmallow. However still a bit warm/spicy given it's proof. Feels a bit thin and watery on the palate. I can't ignore the price here. It feels like you are paying for the single barrel vintage. For the proof there are other whiskeys I'd prefer that are cheaper. And for the price, there are other more flavorful higher proof whiskeys I'd also prefer.35.0 USD per Bottle -
VABC Select 2020. While these are "barely legal" ryes, this one has always brought the rye spice. I loved how this bottle would dance across my tongue with rye and pepper spice. Later pours of this the spice is still very present but toned down from before. The Beam peanut starts coming forward now which I don't remember from earlier in the bottle.

WhistlePig 6 Year PiggyBack Rye
Rye — (bottled in) Vermont, Canada
Reviewed May 27, 2022 (edited June 2, 2022)Sweet with spicy rye notes but a thin on the mouth feel. Cinnamon, caramel, and honey throughout. Later sips I start getting aromas and flavors that remind me of applesauce. A nice rye, but compared to other rye options the price is the main sticking point for me on this one.50.0 USD per Bottle -
"F-Rye Day Pour Batch -- MI" Heat with Beam funk on the nose. Noticeable rye spice and the right amount of heat of the palate finishing with more Beam funk. The Beam funk never bothers me in their products, but this one presents it the strongest of any of their offerings I've had so far.65.0 USD per Bottle
