Agreed, JDSBBP is excellent, why it’s not up there on the bar is baffling. Oh well, I think a lot of people sleep on the barrel proof JD. Fine by me. I can still find it at MSRP! 😉

I was at the distillery last week and asked about the 9 year- It will be MGP and should be released in the fall. Absolutely cannot wait to taste the extra year in an already amazing release!
@@johnnilsson5746 I’m in Southern California and I’ve been able to score two bottles of the 8 year rather easily. Hopefully the same will go for the 9 year.
I’ve been a huge Sagamore fan for about a year. I randomly picked up two bottles, 83 Rye and the Double Oak. Since then I’ve had their Sherry Cask, 8 Year and two store barrel picks. They are all magnificent. I need to pick up their Cask and Rum because I hear they are outstanding.
Great blind gentlemen. I didn't have the Triumph but subbed the Cornerstone. Otherwise this is my finish first to last. 1st. Old Overholt, 2nd Sagamore 8 year, 3rd. Wild Turkey Cornerstone 4th. Pikesville, Last Knob Creek 10. Thankyou.
next rye blind: Hard Truth Sweet Mash, New Riff Balboa Rye, Rossville Union, Michters Rye and Ole George{I think you can get it in your area, and am pretty sure Trenton will love it. I can't get it in KY so go through Seelbach's}.
Love Sagamore 8 year and glad I have a back up. My favorite go to rye pours are anything Sagamore and Jack Daniels SiB BP Rye. Wow about the Rum Cask as Sagamore has one of the best on the market. It is so much better than the Old Elk Rum Cask and $30-$40 cheaper
I haven't had all of them, but I agree with KC 10 Rye in last place and Sagamore 8 at #1. Love everything that Sagamore does - that's the whiskey brand I have the most of, and I love all of them...even the Rum Finish! I didn't like it when I first bought it (it made me sad, lol), but I tried it a few months later and I liked it much more. So try it again!
Not shocking ... I have a Sagamore 6 year old store pick I ran across that is just wonderful. I happened to be passing through a town roughly 35 miles away from home and on impulse stopped in a random package store to see what they had. I went back over there the next day to get a back up 😉
I've not had had any of the bottles on display, but I have had Sagamore Spirit regular and Cask Strength, regular Old Overholt, and regular Knob Creek. I'll definitely go back to the Sagamore bottles, and probably to the Knob Creek. I do want to try the Overholt 114, which only recently appeared here. 9:25 Yah, that's AC/DC, but I prefer, "For those about to rock, we salute you!" 🎸
@@mikehintenach2503 I'm kicking myself for sleeping on their distillery only releases cause I live close by but I did make it up a couple weeks ago and picked up the albarino cask finish distillery only release and it's amazing
I like the idea of the rye series! I recently picked up a bottle of Roulette Straight Rye - a very solid every day MGP rye, and an absolute steal at $27.
One product that I love out of Knob Creek is their "Smoked Maple." I'm all about sweet flavor notes, and its a goldmine of sweetness for around $35 for 750 ml.
The old overholt bottle reminds me of the old granddad, 114 bottle.🤔 different color labels, different colored cork. But the shape reminds me exactly of the old granddad.
Great blind guys. All good ones. I am a huge Rye fan but not so much a Sagamore fan. I have a Double oak and a barrel pick that I need to revisit I see. Cheers!
Sagamore Cask Strength is a tasty Rye as well. Like you guys, kind of surprised about Pikesville coming in 4th. Very tasty rye (but not as good as Sagamore Cask Strength). Haven't tried the 8 year yet, but will as soon as a come across a bottle.
I have a bottle of Sagamore Sherry finish that I squirrelled away after finishing one off, really a fantastic pour. Have been trying to grab an 8 year for a couple years now. There are several store pics near me that have 7 year.
I'm just now trying to build out a whiskey collection. I started with a gift pack of Whistlepig that was fantastic but I polished them off before I got more. So now I have a bottle of Makers 46 and just got a bottle of Oban Little Bay Scotch which is amazing. I think another rye is my next purchase
Pikesville is around 95 dollars here when we get it not cheap at all, but it's rare to get it has been 2 years since last time. But when it's available I buy a few bottles it's so good.
Great lineup! You picked up the toffee and orange citrus in the WT both times. It sounds great but not for 300.00. When I saw your lineup I picked the Sagamore:) all the Sagamore’s are great pours! Cheers
Sagamore Bottled In Bond is actually up to 6 years age stated. It’s gone up the last two years from their initial 4 year age stated release. And 9 year is coming at some point. I assume they’re doing the same thing and working up to 10 year.
Did a similar blind and Sagamore 8 beat out Old Overholt 10 for us as well. The Knob Creek rye picks at 115 proof are more flavorful and a better overall value than the KC 10 year. Maybe you were trying to avoid single barrels, but JD SBBP rye would have made this very interesting.
I’ve been really loving that Sagamore cask strength rye. I say that it’s my current favorite, in fact each time I go to get something else this cask rye is there so I cave in and get it. I haven’t tried the double oaked yet because I am just a sucker for this cask strength! 🥰 So yummy!! 👍 28:1128:21
When I visited Heaven Hill, which makes Pikesville, they admitted it has nothing to do with what had been made in Maryland other than the name. They changed the mash bill and it’s no longer made in Maryland.
I have a few different bottles of Sagamore, but I don't think I have the 8 year..... you guys should do this again and add the old pepper rye at 110 proof and the 6 year prideful goat. Cheers
Wow 🎉 You two have won me over to rye whisky. Does anyone know the percentage of men to women who prefer rye whisky over bourbons? For me, rye’s don’t smell good on the nostrils but taste so good.
I really need to find some more decent rye. I just had the Old Overholt 10 a couple of weeks ago and I thought it was fantastic, and significantly better than the Knob Creek 10. Keeping my eye out for the Pikesville and Sagamore. 👀
I learned of Pikesville from a video of yours a few years ago, I tried it, and I've been a big fan ever since. Sometimes it seems not to be available in my area but I pick it up whenever I get a chance.
Every time I sip a good rye, the taste tends to evolve over the entire time I sip the pour. It’s usually that the lingering finish taste seems to affect any flavor that comes with subsequent sips. I’m not sure how to compare them other than that outset taste from the very first sip, but you miss all that comes out later.
If you can get one, do a bottle review on Hard Truth sweat mash rye single barrel. I have a bottle of it. but mine is a store pick from Gay's Hops and Schnapps in Lagrange, Indiana. I love mine. TonyB
You guys should put 5th by Trenton and work towards Kurt for 1. That way for the viewer we see 1st through 5th from left to right. You used to do it that way
I know there are a lot more rye options (labels at least, since most of it is MGP juice), but I'm a bit surprised you don't normally include the granddaddy of ryes in your blinds....Whistle Pig.
I have been drinking more rye this past year. Really developing a taste for it. Sagamore 8 and JD barre proof are my favorites
JDSBBP is the Goat under $100
Agreed, JDSBBP is excellent, why it’s not up there on the bar is baffling. Oh well, I think a lot of people sleep on the barrel proof JD. Fine by me. I can still find it at MSRP! 😉
Same here. I gotta real taste for Ryes now and not sure what I’m gonna do with all these bourbons now! 😅😅
JDSBBP Rye is my favorite whiskey/bourbon right now. It is absolutely delicious

Sagamore BiB is now a 6yr. They also have a 100% Maryland rye small batch 4-6 yr. And yes this fall will be 9 yr mgp in lieu of the 8yr
Out by me it amazes me how Sagamore 8 Year sits on the shelf while the masses are racing for whatever they can get in the regular Buffalo Trace drop.
@@davidvoth7218 🤫 🤫 let it sit on the shelves please.
I’ve yet to see a bottle of that stuff anywhere
@@deankruse4491 Illinois get blanketed with it.
Where does Sagamore 8 sit on the shelf? I haven't seen a bottle in over a year, at which time I bought the last 4 bottles I could find...
The sherry, port, and double oaked sagamores are all bangers.

@@johnnilsson5746 I’m in Southern California and I’ve been able to score two bottles of the 8 year rather easily. Hopefully the same will go for the 9 year.
I’m with Trenton on the cornbread. There’s nothing more American than dunkin’ some cornbread in da chili
Chilli and cornbread like cookies and milk
I LOVED the Sagamor 8 year I bought another bottle and have not opened it. Saving it for a special occasion!! It truly turned me into a Rye fan.
I had a pour of Pikesville last night. It's pretty available in my area, always keep a bottle on my self.
It is a bourbon drinker's rye. It is also my favorite rye with Sagamore Double Oak right behind it.
@@duffman9908 Finally picked up a bottle of that double oak, great juice.
I love the Sagamore 8 yr and the SLB Sagamore 7 yr pick. My top ryes are the 11 yr MGP ryes from River Roots.
Can’t believe no JD rye in this , barrel proof shelf staple, you always rave about it, I think it would have been in top two for sure,, more please
I can't find JDBP Rye on my shelves, and I've been searching for a year now. (Californian)
@@tsubakichan Was in Napa last month and saw it it a couple places.
@pumpedupdart6859 Subsequently was able to grab a bottle in SF! Thanks!
My favorite ryes are Bardstown Origin and Sagamore Double-Oaked

The Cask strength is one of my favourite whiskies and the Rum is a special one that I enjoy in the winter.
Great blind gentlemen. I didn't have the Triumph but subbed the Cornerstone. Otherwise this is my finish first to last. 1st. Old Overholt, 2nd Sagamore 8 year, 3rd. Wild Turkey Cornerstone 4th. Pikesville, Last Knob Creek 10. Thankyou.
next rye blind: Hard Truth Sweet Mash, New Riff Balboa Rye, Rossville Union, Michters Rye and Ole George{I think you can get it in your area, and am pretty sure Trenton will love it. I can't get it in KY so go through Seelbach's}.
Still Austin Cask Strength Rye....sooooo good.
That is a great bottle. If you can find a store pick, they are even better.
Glad to see Sagamore do well in this. Not surprising.
I've watched you guys for a while now! Each episode gets better. Keep up the good work!!!
Nice review. Yes, AC/DC did TNT. Good job Trenton.
Exactly how it should have gone. Your palate is perfect!
I'm excited for this one!
Love Sagamore 8 year and glad I have a back up.
My favorite go to rye pours are anything Sagamore and Jack Daniels SiB BP Rye.
Wow about the Rum Cask as Sagamore has one of the best on the market. It is so much better than the Old Elk Rum Cask and $30-$40 cheaper

You put the bottles on the table backwards from how you usually do. This was a fun video! Love the Friday blinds.

Sagamore 6 yr bib and their 93 proof small batch are now all their own distillate. Their barrel selects are distilled in id and md
They also released a 5 yr single barrel at the distillery back in May that is their own. It is a great bottle and I was lucky to get one.
@@mikehintenach2503 I'm kicking myself for sleeping on their distillery only releases cause I live close by but I did make it up a couple weeks ago and picked up the albarino cask finish distillery only release and it's amazing

Love Sagamore ryes, but also love Milam and Greene, Woodford, and Widow Jane Paradigm Rye.
I have been getting into ryes more and more lately. I found a bottle of Sagamore Double Oak rye and it is fantastic.
I would like to recommend 2 ryes to your attention: Redwood Empire Emerald Giant Cask Strength and Knobel Rye (from Mike Rowe's signature line).
Picked up a Knob Creek Bourye yesterday. You fellas need to get one ASAP.
So glad you put sagamore in it. I knew it would do well. One of my all time favorite ryes and distillery
Excellent video. Will be looking to try sagamore soon.
The old overholt bottle reminds me of the old granddad, 114 bottle.🤔 different color labels, different colored cork. But the shape reminds me exactly of the old granddad.
Liked it more than you did too! Oak forward rye spice
"Flavor cliff" is great

Pikesville Rye is originally from Pikesville, MD. About 25 minutes from the Sagamore Distillery.
I do like the Sagamore’s, but Michter’s BS rye is where it’s at!
Just think how good Sag 10 and/or 12 or higher will be. Wouldn't mind a blind with all of the various finished Sagamore expressions.
In the next rye video, y'all need (i want to see) Redwood Rocket Top & Michters SB Rye
Love your blinds. Keep them coming.
The WT Triumph was 350 at Total Wine. As of yesterday.
Did a similar blind and Sagamore 8 beat out Old Overholt 10 for us as well.
The Knob Creek rye picks at 115 proof are more flavorful and a better overall value than the KC 10 year.
Maybe you were trying to avoid single barrels, but JD SBBP rye would have made this very interesting.

Pikesville rye is also a old Maryland rye recipe
That old overholt 10 is worth the price in my opinion. Pikesville is barely a rye whiskey. But still a good one for $55.00
Pikesville Rye also originated from Maryland, pre-prohibition. Sagamore is carrying on the MD rye tradition
When I visited Heaven Hill, which makes Pikesville, they admitted it has nothing to do with what had been made in Maryland other than the name. They changed the mash bill and it’s no longer made in Maryland.
@@ToddMichaelPost Yep!
Little book 8 I would ve liked to see in this blind. Great video
It’s a rye bomb! Very nice pour!
Redemption. 116 proof 45 bucks. Stupendous
I have a few different bottles of Sagamore, but I don't think I have the 8 year..... you guys should do this again and add the old pepper rye at 110 proof and the 6 year prideful goat. Cheers

Blinds are always wild lol. I just had Pikesville beat an 11 year MGP rye and an Old Forester SBBP rye
Sagamore Double Oak all the way; it's basically my house Rye, and I make my Rye cocktails with it.
In Albuquerque, Alberta Premium Cask Strength is $160!
I love it if yall put an audible tag in the blinds, i have yt playing in my earbud while painting, so im not actually watching the screen

Can't wait for Sagamore to release their 9 year.
What about Jack Daniels Rye ?? Delicious 👍🏻
kyle never lets us down!
Under Armor Rye does it again!!
Pikesville was a Maryland rye as well back in the day. Now obviously they're a HH brand, but they're a part of the MD rye history.
Only in name. Heaven Hill changed the mash bill and it’s no longer made in Maryland. So they just bought the name.
Do a Canadian rye blind!
Pikesville $38.99 for me in Northern California 10 mile n of San Francisco
Needed a Michters.
Compare the masters to the funky rare breed rye.
If you can get one, do a bottle review on Hard Truth sweat mash rye single barrel. I have a bottle of it. but mine is a store pick from Gay's Hops and Schnapps in Lagrange, Indiana. I love mine. TonyB
Wild Turkey Rare Breed Rye is beckoning to be considered!!!
Knob Creek and JD Single Barrel, Bardstown Origin Series
About a year or so ago, I got Pikesville under $40. She's not under $40 in Seattle any more.
Should've added New Riff Rye
You gotta put some jalapeños in the cornbread and drizzle it with when it come out of the oven
Funny question - what do you do with the leftovers after the blind? Drink them all, drain pour or back in the bottle?
They make an infinity bottle that they give away at the end of the year.
@@PeteQuad that makes sense! Thanks!
You guys should put 5th by Trenton and work towards Kurt for 1. That way for the viewer we see 1st through 5th from left to right. You used to do it that way

This is probably more relevant to Kurt but I’d love to see a side channel dedicated to cocktails. Or incorporating more cocktail videos.
