What's your favorite rye?

Have you tried Bulleit Rye?
It’s cheap ($35) but quite good. I always bring a bottle to family gatherings because my SIL makes a mean Manhattan and that’s her preferred brand.
Yes, Bulleit is great! It's my go-to

I love rye whiskey and want to buy a really great bottle of it for special occasions. I've had Angel's Envy rye and loved it, but want to know of others that I haven't tried/maybe lesser known. Since it's for special occasions, $100-$200 price range is fine.
Oh! Good call on both
I'll look for that bottle and also ask the community -
100 to 200 dollars for rye gets you top shelf (if any of it can be considered that good) in Canada. Where are you?

Personally I go with scotch if I want good whiskey. I find barrel aged whiskey to be better.

And as rye is a whiskey I did give a recommendation.

And 7up and orange crush are both sodas, but they are still different flavor categories.

Oh wow, such an enlightened response. Buds fuck off with the childhood taste shit.

OMG I thought you meant bread flour.
I am usually a bourbon girl.
But Redwood Empire Emerald Giant is my favorite rye, so good for the price, gorgeous bottle label and not well known; and the cocktails community here at lemmy.world might also enjoy discussing this.
I too thought it was bread. I was like “marbled!! Oh.”

Light with caraway seeds

Pumpernickel is great. Especially for grilled cheese.

Sourdough Rye for me, hands down. With onions or olives or the caraway seeds or just the rye. I make it with about 35-40% whole rye flour and the rest bread flour and it's so good!

I love all the breads, and that sounds yummy right now, but light with caraway is my favorite—almost certainly because it was the first I was exposed to. It won't appeal to probably anyone, but as a kid my favorite sandwich was seeded rye, raspberry preserves, and chunky peanut butter.

If you’re drinking scotch you’re drinking whisky not whiskey.

Definitely a great one!

I used to buy spirits for a handful of restaurants/bars and since no one has really answered your question yet I'll suggest a few.
-Whistle Pig is great and widely available. There's a handful of old world, single barrel, speciality bottlings that are quite nice. I didn't much care for the Madeira one personally but others seem to really like it
-Jefferson's ocean aged
-michters barrel strength
-heaven hill grain to glass
-very olde St Nick (I've only tried 8yr, summer, and harvest)
-willet family 7yrAbove $100, in my opinion, you quickly hit diminishing returns. There's honestly little reason to think $180 bottle is better than $100. If you can find it, it's never a bad idea to try it first at a bar or liquor store that offers that.

A little sweet and savory, nice.

Thank you! These are great recommendations!
