Visited the Jameson Distillery while in Dublin. Was an interesting experience.

This whiskey is matured in charred bourbon barrels.

Nose - banana and toffee. Palate- caramel and toasted oak.

Makes a good cocktail with fresh lime and ginger ale.

Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye 13 Year Old Kentucky Whiskey 2024

Well my night just got better. Still have half a bottle from last fall. Fingers crossed I'll get my hands on one this year. This is the most bourbony rye I think I've ever had. It's all there- cherry leather, caramel, cigar box, corn bread. It's so much like Pappy 15 but a little hint of rye 😊

Buffalo Trace Distillery

Sazerac Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

How does anyone not hoard (regular) Sazerac at ~$25?!
Incredibly smooth, great sweet note to the finish. Again, why haven't I not been buying this for years...?

(BTW Kirkland Bourbon at $30 is worth the price of admission, earthy oak note on the palate is quite similar to Buffalo Trace.)

Yes to Rye, my ‘go to’ for a category I don’t venture into often.

Surprisingly Eagle Rare 10 is highly allocated this year if you’ve had in the past. One bottle only on K&L

Daniel Bloom

Nice assortment, if I remember correctly,

Finally opened this because I bought a bottle from 2024. This is without a doubt the finest rye whiskey I've ever enjoyed. It's going to go way too fast. — a year ago

This is an very old purchase that I’m finally finishing off. It’s not high proof and so is an easy drinker and I think does well in an old fashioned — 3 years ago
