    Give me all the Middle West! They are amazing. I’d recommend starting with their base rye and then go to the cask strength. Their wheated bourbon is unreal too!!

      I'm right there with you, I'm a huge fan of theirs as well! 🥃 Definitely, if you're someone new to Bourbon or Rye, start at a lower proof and work your way up to the cask strength. But I agree, they are doing some amazing things. That wheater I had frkm them this year at Cask Strength was amazing, I was very surprised by it.
      Cheers, buddy, and thanks for watching and sharing 🥃

    I also really like that ASW Fiddler Toasted Rye. My favorite this year was probably the Pinhook Vertical Rye, or maybe New Riff Malted Rye 6.

    Great video Scott. I really loved the JD barrel proof rye. It’s amazing. That Hard Truth “cigar blend” was also amazing. That was the one I was going to pick up for you that day at the distillery. The Middle West SiB Pumpernickel Rye pick was also in my top five. Even though it was low proof, the Bulleit 12 Year Rye was fantastic. I can’t forget the Old Overholt 11 Year.

    Just snagged a Hard Truth pick, and it is an orange creamsicle BOMB. The mid-palate and finish are full of complexity and richnesss, as well. Great list, brother. Stoked to see Corbin $ featured 💪🏼✌🏼🥃

    The JDSBBP is such a great rye. I also really enjoyed some of our local WI distilleries’ ryes this year, some Driftless rye picks I got are hitting 8yrs and the Limosin LE rye at 10yrs was great also. I noticed I was buying a lot more ryes this year than in previous years….

    Happy to see Corbin Cash getting some love - they make some really great and unique Rye. Same with Middle West - I just love their Michelone Reserve and "regular" release of the Dark Pumpernickel Rye, so I'm on the lookout for the Cask Strength version. JD SiBBP Rye just delivers on so many fronts for value and flavor, and I agree that I think I will always have one on hand.

    The top 5 Rye's of 2024. Now you have my attention. I have some Christmas money burning a hole in my pocket and what better thing to buy than a few bottles. I just ordered a ASW and a Hughes Bros. The HB was a 7 year pick from the supplier and their tasting notes sounded absolutely delicious. Thanks Scott for your great content and wishing you much success in 2025 and years beyond. Cheers!

    Totally agree with you on Toasted Ryes one of the best finishes for Rye; maybe only second to Port. Some Toasted Ryes I really enjoyed this year were: Peerless Double Oaked Rye, Buzzards Roost, New Riff, K Luke Toasted Rye, Michters. Hell I even enjoyed the EC Toasted Rye; not amazing but its tasty. Jay West even did a pick with Barrell that was a Seagrass Toasted and that was a big hit.

    I just started getting into ryes late in the year. Found several that I love. In fact Sagamore 9yr, Pursuit United Double Oak rye, Bardstown single barrel rye Seelbach's #1 and Jack Daniels SiBBP rye Whiskey Row pick were in my top 10 whiskeys of the year.

    I see a lot of ryes I'd like to try on your list. I love Third Colony, New Riff, Redwood and Michters, but my fave you should seek out is little known Silver Springs Sweet Rye out of Chattanooga TN. Single barrel and cask strength, the casks differ quite a bit along a spectrum from a deep sweet rye to pure apricot jam. I have tried a dozen barrels and barrel numbers in the 12000 range have been particularly the fabulous.

    I have more single barrels of JD rye (14) than any whiskey released over the last two years. I can’t get enough of it and most of those single barrels (different flavor profiles, too) often crushed rye’s 2-3x the price in blinds. If anyone asks what’s the one readily available bottle at most stores and at a decent price to introduce a new American whiskey drinker to, it’s a JD BP rye, single barrel. And a JD BP, single barrel bourbon, isn’t far behind but the rye is exceptional. I rated it many points better on nose, taste AND finish than the Van Winkle 13 rye.

      I’m right there with you, I got about 30 bottles between the rye and whiskey JDSBBP. I would say it beats a lot of stuff that’s multitudes more expensive . It’s always available and I have seen it for as low as $55. Best value right now in my book too 🤙

    • @mybourbonjourney
      @mybourbonjourney  2 дні тому +2

      If you live near Ohio it's all over shelves for around 70$. I believe Seelbach's has done a pick of it as well but it's probably sold out. I just bought one about two weeks ago now and I really enjoy it.
