Bulleit Rye is very good for the price. It will run you around $30 for a 750 ml. Rittenhouse Rye is also a very nice starter Rye and will run you around $25. It's bottled in bond, putting its ABV at exactly 50%, whereas Bulleit is around 45-47% ABV.
I like bourbon a lot but it's a very sweet spirit and I have found that Rye whiskey really hits the spot as its spicy nature makes it much easier to drink than bourbon, especially when drinking neat. [Reply]

I know of Bulliet...I shall have to try that. I've 'graduated' to drinking my bourbon/scotch neat, so that's good to know. I have found that they run me really hot, so that's why I avoid them in the summer. But, I'll give the rye a shot. [Reply]
Have some people I know in Montana who are selling what looks to be some great mix! It's a "hangover tonic" and Caesar Mix. Looks great to mix in many different drinks and also use this for cooking. I will probably order some soon!

You always mention this and I want to try it but might need to assess my tolerance mixed with something to start. Any suggestions?
Have two it at a bar at lunch. The first should be on the rocks, and the second in Coke or Diet Coke. I like it either way, but Kraken can be sipped unlike many Rums. [Reply]

I won't expand on my night but it's been a decade and I can still can't shake the smell and taste of that rum. I remember it like it was yesterday. On the rocks would not be a good starting point. [Reply]
