Just ordered a bottle of Rittenhouse 100 proof Straight Rye, as I've never tried it and it seems to get good reviews.

Anyone tried it?

(Also jealous of recent Pappy Van Winkle spottings)

I've still got half a bottle of the 80 proof Rittenhouse Rye - its OK, but a bit meh - OK in cocktails - 100 is supposed to be loads tastier though

GF's dad staying at the moment (archaeologist from the Borders, currently living in Jordan) so lots of great stories and getting stuck into this:

It is sensational. Perfect smoky balance to my tastes...

I'm optimistic....will report back

Has anyone had a bottle of Few Bourbon? It was the only one on the shelves in M and S earlier when I was in there.

Bought it for Old Fashioneds.

Having the first one now and it is intriguing. A very in your face, almost medicinal beginning blends to a bitter smokey middle and then a smooth vanilla and leather finish.

I'm enjoying it, all told.

I have a bottle of Few Bourbon, gf bought me it for Xmas. It's not like any Bourbon I've tried before but I like it.

Enjoyed a wee dram of jefferson bourbon tonight. Also enjoying a bottle nikka and jura. Really need a bottle of llagavulin next.

Master of Malt just got a limited number of bottles of Pikesville 6 Year Old 110 Proof Straight Rye.

£64.95. One bottle per customer.
Looking forward to trying it!

Cooperative supermarket on southwalk park road is closing thus Saturday and selling off stock cheap. Picked these up for 11£ a bottle. Fiver for the glenfiddich taster packs

Holy shit what a haul, imma swing by tomorrow morning if it's not empty!

Amazing. I'm running low on Glenlivet and Talisker is always welcome in my home.

Best damn thing I ever tasted. That Jim Murray fella knows his shit.
Completely sold on Rye from now on.

oooh!

Thanks so much! I got the following for £26 all together (and a bottle of Tanqueray for martinis obvs). They were out of mini bottles though, sad emoticon.

Holy shit. Good hauls. I am now completely out of (decent) whisky. Tonight however I am meeting my old friend and neighbor at his work. He's the manager of this place> https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/shop/london/coventgarden
It's also payday. Woo, and indeed, hoo.

Not smooth, but extremely satisfying.
Will buy again.

I had a cracking bottle of Ardbeg as a gift when my daughter was born. I forget which one. Fancy another. What's the recommended one?

Hello stranger.
