OH baby! I bought this bottle because it seemed like a solid and reasonably priced choice to make my Manhattans. I wanted to give the fine liquid inside a taste in its own and give it a reasonable assessment. It's pretty assertive on the nose, as well as ok the palate. I get vanilla, burnt sugary sweetness, and a punch of almond on the way down. There is a lasting finish (no surprise), but comparing this to something as oh say Noah's Mill, there's a lack of softness that leaves something to be desired. But for $25...seriously something this good?! I think this has become a home staple from here on out! Spice...did I mention spice?!

I have NOT tried any Canadian ryes yet...In fact I haven't really had any Canadian past the typical Crown Royale :o
Try a bottle of the Beam Prohibition-Era Rye. Excellent flavors, none of the Beam syrupy-sweetness, and it's creamy too!
This is a favorite, followed closely by Sazerac. For a 95% rye, James E Pepper is a solid affordable choice (also @ 100 proof).
Believe it or not, Old Overholt is not at all...and about $12-15 a bottle
Guyver: have you tried the Canadian ryes? Really good VFM. Northern Harvest and their Noble Collection are really good
I'll always keep a bottle of this around. Time to start looking for some other rye to sink my taste buds into!
It's a staple at my house. And in my pocket flask.
