What's your favorite rye?
-
Lot 40, because it's Canadian. It's also 100% rye, no corn.
This sounds awesome! I'm gonna give it a try

My favorite rye is by Rocker. They are in Colorado, and do not distribute nationally, unfortunately. The distiller is going for a niche, local market, he tells me.
Anyhow, all other rye whiskeys taste ‘thin’ in comparison. Super rich and super sippable.
I might just need a road trip! I'm in NM, so it's a pretty easy drive.

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.
Go-tos when out and about are Michter's and Templeton. A bit harder to find is Alley 6 and Redwood Empire.
Slowly working through bottles picked up on trips. San Diego Distillery and Woodinville near Seattle. There are a lot of good, local ones.
At home, it's good old Bulleit.

Whatever Boas drinks in the old mill would be my recommendation

Yeah, their tasting room is a nice hangout in a nice area with other stuff in walking distance.
Weird hours, so be aure to check.

The regular Lot 40 is good, but I recently tried the Dark Oak for the first time and I really liked it. If you like bourbon, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try.

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.
Redwood Empire makes some good shit
-
Even a step farther
- Russian black rye
- no wait, Founders red rye ipa
- darn, whiskey?

My favorite rye is also the worst one.
