Hard Truth is really good. Everyone hates Willett 4 year rye but me, I enjoy it. New Riff 6 year malted rye might be my favorite though.
@@larryowens675 i LOVE the New Riff Malted rye. I felt the proof was a bit low to compete with barrel proofs, but it probably could have!
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
If you were to slam your right elbow behind you, you would be striking the iconic green/turquoise bottle that is barrell seagrass. This is the greatest rye of all time known to humanity. Thank you for placing it in direct view to subliminally remind people of the goat 🐐
Seagrass buddy! The legend continues. If I did a finished rye flight, it would just destory the competition. So I wont bother! I would feel bad for the other whiskeys.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
I have never been a rye fan, really, and recently picked up a JD SBBP rye. Gotta say it is by far the best rye I have had, (which to be clear isn't a long list) and it's really not close! Always like to hear about great rye whiskys even if they are unicorns! Thanks for the video!
I definitely think that is the best shelf bottle there is. In any whiskey category. Crazy good.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
The 2023 handy is perhaps the best thing I have ever tasted. The finish was magical. JdBP Rye is epic especially the Sib. Tried two different driftless glen ryes and dislike them and I love ryes. Love their bourbon and the cognic and sherry finished are great. Old Overholt 10 year rye is also great. Lastly abaolutely love Michters 10 year rye so good.
@@durzagon88 all very good suggestions. Especially that Oo10. Very tasty rye.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
1. Don't pay 500$ for thomas handy. It's good. But not 500$ good
@geno816 if I didnt have one, I might do it.... might being the key word. This is a good call out. I shouldn't avocate for overpaying.
But really, I mean trade. If I can take say, two elmers and a blantons (about 500 trade value) for one, I will do it every single time.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
@geno816 I agree. To me, no whiskey is $500 good. However, TH Handy is $200 to $250 anytime, anywhere, if you can get it!
@JonBlankman yes. I typically get 1 a year.
@@JonBlankman where have you seen THH for $200-250?
@SunnyMcPoopz My local store received one bottle of THH in December. I was the first one there on the truck delivery day and it was $199.99.
Looking forward to first taste of THH. In mean time Old Carter rye for the win. Blended, finished, liking it regardless.
I have an old carter American Whiskey and love it, and I have tried some other samples but never their rye. I need to get on that!
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
I love the Jack Daniel’s single barrel barrel proof rye is my absolute favorite and a daily drinker now that I can get it when I want. I have watched you for years now and the last two you’ve been fortunate enough to get the Thomas handy and raved over it. So my co workers won one last year in a NC lotto and I hassled him enough for a 2 oz sample thinking it would be head and shoulders above the JDSBBPR…. It’s not. It is as good do not get me wrong but I thought it was going to blow me away. I was very shocked. I prefer the JD rye really. Just my opinion though. Keep up the content I enjoy your videos!
That is totally fair. And for me I would say it is as close as you can get to Handy personally. But I bet there are a lot of people that would agree with your assertion. In fact, the JD sibbp rye is so good, I actually dont see the point of hunting whiskey anymore. It is better than 95% of allocated stuff. I think you just gave me a great idea for a video.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
@@yourdrinkingbuddy the hunt must go on though my friend. Better and different whiskey has to be found!
Ryes have been on the Rise! Sorry I missed the premier. I’m very shocked to hear that as well. I think our palates fall in line and when I did the THH vs this same OF, it made THH seem like regular Saz Rye. Im very shocked buddy. King of Kentucky knocked WLW out the water and then this OF Rye, really surprised me. Cheers! Great video
King of Kentucky is so freaking crazy good. I would give a kidney for one I think lol.
Cheers buddy thanks for the sample and well, everything 🥃
@@yourdrinkingbuddy Same!!! Lol
I buy rye whiskey 3-1 over bourbon and I really like bourbon. Old Overholt is very good and cheap the 114 is 19 in my area. Working on getting the Hard Truth. I wish I could get a Handy but that will never happen. Enjoy!!
@umami0247 I traded for this one. Cost me a little over retail. I paid about $180 for the bottles I traded. Which is alot. That is almost 20 of those oo114s!
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
I've always loved a good Rye. I love the different profiles across the spectrum.
I agree. I think i almost prefer it to a bourbon most days.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
I know most people here only like to drink very high proof whiskeys, so I'm likely to get shot down in flames, but I tend to think of Journeyman's Last Feather Rye as 'Handy Jr' (and I do have a bottle of Thomas H. Handy at 126.2 proof, as well as a 'normal' Last Feather and a store pick, so I can directly compare them). "But it's only 90 proof!" yell the pitchfork-wielders...
Lol low proof doesn't mean bad by any means. I just tend to get the most flavor out of BP. Watch my most recent video and watch me drink a 90, 99 and 101 proof whiskey that together would cost you $15,000.... retail!
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
@@yourdrinkingbuddy In that case: have you tried the Journeyman? (Oh, and I've spent $15k several times over on whiskey, so that doesn't impress me at all.)
@andrewbutler7681 I have the corsets whips and whiskeys. And not trying to impress anyone, just think it is a cool flight, so I thought I would share while we were on the subject of lower proof
@@yourdrinkingbuddy Sorry if I over-reacted - it seemed odd mentioning a large cash sum... If you get the chance to try Last Feather Rye, I'll be interested to hear what you think.
@andrewbutler7681 I dont think you did! We are all good here buddy. I will look for that one. I know a spot in Pheonix that carries their stuff.
Gonna have to give this a try myself. Me and Marco just discussed this lol
Where do you think you land?
Cheers buddy thanks for everything 🥃
I'm almost embarrassed to admit how much I have turned to ryes in the last 12 months. However, I have to give credit where credit is due. I did snag a 2023 Thomas H. Handy and it is the best and most flavorful bottle I own. I also grab any and all JD SBBP bottles I run across because they are all so good and great values. Another rye hitter I love is a Middle West Spirits Seelbach's Dark Pumpernickel Rye Single Barrel Barrel Proof pick that is glorious. I also was able to recently find a Middle West Spirits Ported Pumpernickel Rye from their Double Cask Collection that is fantastic as well. Now, if I can finally get an OF SBBP pick as well someday too! Thanks for the fun epic rye battle, Drinking Buddy!
I love the Middle-West stuff as well. I need to grab the Cask strength!
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
Okay, I agree, and have several JDBP rye and I have a THH, but I would throw in one of my Old Carter Ryes, one of my 10 yr Michters Rye, and without a doubt, one of my older Dedmond Kentucky Owl ryes, those things are Delicious! And I’m a big fan of the Peerless Double Oaked rye, just sayin. Cheers DB
That Peerless is a GREAT rye. I havent had any Old Carter ryes, just bourbons and American whiskeys and they are 🔥🔥🔥 so I imagine the rye is similar.
Micther's 10 rye is way to low proof for this flight but drinks nice on its own.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
Don’t forget the OF are single barrels. I’ve had a K warehouse floor 7 beat the THH for all four tasters.
Was that one from Nana's too? Might have been the same barrel!
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
@@yourdrinkingbuddy
That one is from Whse I floor 3. I have one but haven’t cracked it yet. You know how much I love me some THH though!
Loving all the rye content. OF SiB BP Rye just barely beats JD SiB BP Rye, for me. I've never had the Thomas Handy. ❤
I hope you have the chance!
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
Yes sir rye is a magic grain.
I agree. Really lovin ryes.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
I'm starting to lean towards the higher ryes: Dad's Hat, Old Potrero & Elgin. I prefer all of these to any of my barely legal ryes:
@@shaunfarrier9060 I like both for sure. And that Driftless Glen is 75% rye and no corn, so it is definitely up there.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
Found north definitely gives th a run for it’s money
003 was amazing! They need another rye dominant blend. I would byt that so fast!
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
JD SiBBP Rye might be my favorite whiskey I've ever touched and the JD SiBBP is a close runner up. The JD 12 is exceptionally well balanced and definitely is in my top 10. I've never seen a BTAC even in a whiskey bar so far so it may as well not exist. I like the reg old saz but it's not super special. Tattersall BP Heritage Rye is super interesting, all rye and malted rye and is basically fig through and through. They work through the same distillery as Driftless Glen, kind of a MN/WI team up.
@markcalhoun8219 i have a Tattersall rye pick and it is GREAT.
Good call.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
@@yourdrinkingbuddy oh and the new KC10 Rye is actually really interesting too. The 7 was great but the 10 is a bit more complex.
Great video!! Never used to like rye but my palate like everyones has shifted and now I love rye. Handy is crazy good as well as the JD barrel proof offerings. I would throw in the sagamore offerings especially some of the finished ones. Their 8 is good and I'm expecting the 9 to be really good. Also don't overlook tumblin dice picks and of course michters barrel strength toasted and no toasted. I'd even throw in K Luke toasted and expect their batches to get better. Cheers!!
Good call on all of those. Love the K Luke stuff especially. Really great. And Sagamore always delivers as well.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
Lol
Your compared source and finished rye whiskeys to some of the best on the shelf. It’s like comparing a kit cobra to a real cobra, there is a difference.
@@johncashion8428 LOL and I can compare whatever I want. MGP rye is a real rye you know that right???. Sourced ryes don't mean they are less of a rye. What a jackass statement.
No Michter's Barrel Strength Rye or BS Toasted Rye in the running? Key omission imo
I think this year's is very good, but would likely say not on par with the top 3 here, but would probably beat the Old Forester. I have that one in another rye blind I did. Should have that one out next week.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
Totally agree on the Thomas Handy. Just insanely good.
Where does the Michter’s barrel strength rye rank for you?
@@caleb_bogie it would have been the 5th on this blind for sure, and I think maybe even bumped the Forester. But the whole point was to see if the Forester could hang with the big boys.
@@caleb_bogie cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
Love it brother high on rye
Same! Love a great rye.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
If I ever get anything better than JDSiBBP Rye it will be heaven sent.
Right? That bottle is veryyyyy hard to beat.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
dare i say it, i like rye more than bourbon. much more enjoyable, more variety that I prefer. and high-rye rye is my fav: 95/5 MGP, 100% rye Whistle Pig, just can't beat it!
I really love the crazy high kentucky ryes. The 100% malted rye from new riff, the 95/5 from barton/eh taylor, there are others. I love a great rye.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
You can't hide the Handy.
Very true buddy!
Cheers 🥃
No, those are not the 4 best Ryes ever. Not even top 10. But, for someone just picking up this whiskey hobby, I'm sure these are simply splendid.
What would be your top 4? There is one GLARING hole here, Parker's Heritage 10 year rye. But I don't own a bottle. Other than that? I stand by these 4.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
I have a few ryes that could beat those😊
Let's hear em! I am very curious.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
Boss Hog #7 is a better pour.
I think it better be for 5x the price!
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
Here in California they go for roughly the same price so i feel it's a fair comparison. Boss Hog 7 is the only rye that I enjoy as much as handy. Give it a try if you get the opportunity. I really enjoy your channel, buddy. Keep up the good work!
