The ryes I'm always buying are Jack Daniels Barrel Proof Rye, any Sagamore available,(8 year is my favorite) and Middle West Spirits Pumpernickel Rye Cask strength. I buddy of mine picked me up a Traverse City North Coast Rye 94 proof. I'm diggin' that one too.🥃🥃
Judge, I'm a 58yr old Oklahoma guy, I only follow a couple of UA-cam Bourbon channels, I've been a bourbon guy since back when Bourbon was reasonably priced, Out of all the channels your palette seems to be in line with mine. I really appreciate your reviews, I may not be able to get all your recommendations here in Oklahoma, but the ones I can get my hands on I've thoroughly enjoyed. CHEERS! AND MERRY CHRISTMAS
We love your Sagamore pick with Josh & Erin. We also love our Sagamore pick we did for Midnight liquors. Two totally different bottles. I enjoy both. We tried the Corbin Cash on our last livestream and loved it. Would love to do a pick with them. MWS has awesome whiskey! Just had the Two Souls rebarreled dark pumpernickel rye last night. Larrikin high wheat rye Limousin Rye are interesting too. Another great video Judge!!
That Middle West Spirits Dark Pumpernickel Rye is fantastic indeed! Mine is a Seelbach's pick. Oh so good! I also enjoy their Ported Dark Pumpernickel Rye at 99.5 proof that comes in a tube.
Nice choice’s! My go to rye’s are the moment: Sorry 10+1 1)Any Sagamore but I reach for the PX Sherry finish the most. 2)Jack Daniels twice barreled Heritage Rye 3)RY3 Madeira finished 4) Bardstown origin rye 5) Art of the Spirit DO rye 6) Corbin Cash pick 7) Prideful Goat 6yr 8) Seagrass rye 9) Michters B S rye 10) Very Old St Nick Harvest Rye Asterisk: Little Book #8 Cheers!
I’m really enjoying the new Redwood Empire Needle Haystack 8 year single barrel cask strength rye. I’ve tried two different store picks now and enjoyed them both. It’s all their own juice and the packaging is quite nice too.
Yeah, I agree with many others on the comments list. JD SBBP rye are exceptional and beautifully priced. Michters has great rye whiskey whether it’s the 10 yr, toasted releases, barrell strength, even the straight rye is my go to old fashioned whiskey. But your list is solid, and I need to try that Corbin & cash. Cheers Judge
Beautiful lineup of bottles. I would have to include a rye from New Riff. Not sure which one, since they make a wonderful variety of rye whiskies, but maybe the Balboa Rye.
i've really enjoyed a good rye over the past 12 months, maybe even a bit more than bourbon currently. The Hughes Belle of Bedford 11 & 10 y Rye's have been fabulous!! Probably my current favorite. Have yet to be disappointed in Sagamore. And yes, love the Middle West as well. Great video Judge...Keep 'em coming!!
On that Corbin Cash note, if you're interested check in with Tarpey Wine and Spirit in Fresno, CA as they just got their 8 Year Bourbon store pick coming in at 149 Proof.
Gotta say I love ur pallet. Your middlewest and Glen's Creek picks were great. Your spot on the rye. Only one I need to try is the Corbin Cash but man they are 125 for a 750 ml. I will grab your pick once it drops though.
My favorite straight ryes right now are sag 9 yr and the overholt 11 yr. If I want something finished I’ll grab the sag port or VDN. I have the JD twice barreled distillery series which I heard is better than the special release but haven’t cracked it yet!
Thanks for the video Judge! I'm just getting into Rye, I really like the staples, OF 100, Pikesville and when adventurous JD Single Barrel, B/P. Of your picks only Middle West is available on the shelf in Oregon, so looks like I'll give that a try next.
Great list! Love that Buzzard's Roost. Have you tried any of the RY3 products? I watch almost all of your videos and can't remember ever seeing one. Check out their Cigar batch. Their other stuff is also great! Cheers and Merry Christmas!

JD Barrel Strength Rye or any Sagamore product are my go to's.
Me too. I’d add the Old Forester Single Barrel to the list. It’s really good if you can find it.
My favorite rye is Redwood Empire Emerald Giant Cask Strength.
The JD SB/BP is really good in the 130+ proof batches 😮, but me and she really got a kick out of Hard Truth Sweet Mash Rye.

Well said Jimmy!
Old Hillside The Last Rye’d for me.
My favorite ryes are Michters, Sagamore Double Oaked, and Angel’s Envy Rum
Finished at the moment.
Nice list!
Haven’t seen Bardstown Rye anywhere in my area. Then again, I’m in Iowa, which doesn’t get a lot of variety with brand distribution.
It’s hard to find in some places, but definitely worth the hunt.
Beautiful lineup of bottles. I would have to include a rye from New Riff. Not sure which one, since they make a wonderful variety of rye whiskies, but maybe the Balboa Rye.
Great list Judge, I’ve been digging on some Templeton and Driftless Glen Ryes
Both are solid options Tony!!
My favorite place in SE Michigan has a great Sagamore store pick. Also love the New Riff Malted Rye. My top two for sure! Bardstown right there, also.
Glad to hear you're enjoying those!🥃
If you like the sagamore 8 year you’re going to love the 9 year more. The 9 year is my favorite rye right now
The Angel's Envy Rye with the Caribbean finish is my favorite rye for the Holidays. It tastes like Christmas in a glass.
Nice lineup BJ.
I've been really digging Dad's Hat & Old Potrero ryes lately.
i've really enjoyed a good rye over the past 12 months, maybe even a bit more than bourbon currently. The Hughes Belle of Bedford 11 & 10 y Rye's have been fabulous!! Probably my current favorite.

Absolutely Paul.. great add ons.
On that Corbin Cash note, if you're interested check in with Tarpey Wine and Spirit in Fresno, CA as they just got their 8 Year Bourbon store pick coming in at 149 Proof.
149 proof.. woowee🔥🥃
Picked one up today. Santa's Hazmat Milk.
Gotta say I love ur pallet. Your middlewest and Glen's Creek picks were great. Your spot on the rye. Only one I need to try is the Corbin Cash but man they are 125 for a 750 ml. I will grab your pick once it drops though.
Appreciate the kind words.
Hopefully you got to pick a cask strength barrel from both Ohio distilleries. Love both of these distilleries. Have a great Christmas.🥃🥃🥃
Thnx for the well wishes! Likewise
My favorite straight ryes right now are sag 9 yr and the overholt 11 yr. If I want something finished I’ll grab the sag port or VDN. I have the JD twice barreled distillery series which I heard is better than the special release but haven’t cracked it yet!
Excellent choices
Nice review Judge!
Cheers man!🥃
Love some eyes, but most of these I can’t get in my area. But if you consider Canadian as rye, then Found North is the bomb!
Good point, there are some good Canadian rye offerings out there for sure.
I had that Sagamore 9 in my paws and put it back on the shelf. 😢 Rookie move. 😂
😂🥃
Thanks for the video Judge! I'm just getting into Rye, I really like the staples, OF 100, Pikesville and when adventurous JD Single Barrel, B/P. Of your picks only Middle West is available on the shelf in Oregon, so looks like I'll give that a try next.
Good stuff
Old overholt 10 is special
Great list! Love that Buzzard's Roost. Have you tried any of the RY3 products? I watch almost all of your videos and can't remember ever seeing one. Check out their Cigar batch. Their other stuff is also great! Cheers and Merry Christmas!
Never did a review of their stuff. Only had one of their batches. Definitely need to try more..🥃
You are going to be hard pressed to out due your first pick of MW Pumpernickel Rye. But fingers crossed 🤞
Appreciate that
Judge, would you do Midwinter Night Dram Rye? Have you had it?
Older releases were really good. Newer stuff ok
Can’t believe Pursuit DO Rye not in your five
That is a close add on. Delicious tho
New riff
Buzzards Roost Char #1 Rye was in my glass when I clicked on this video. 🎉
Like that for timing
Looks like someone needs to do a fresh crack review on the Old Overholt 11 Year Rye...
Good point! That's definitely on my list.
Why does this sound sped up?
It may have been the 4 cups of coffee I had prior to recording loo
Pretty much meh

Lmao hilarious
Ugg that green label Bardstown is the Worst rye I've ever had for the $ Sagamore 2nd worse Corbin and buzzards gr8 though
Lol 😂
