MM Speakeasy (The Spirits Thread)

[Ryan T]

Any Rye whiskey drinkers in here? That’s turned into my go to whiskey. My coworker told me about Sazerac Rye, which is from Buffalo Trace Distillery, that has won the number 1 budget friendly rye whisky lately. I went to the ABC store today and they had one bottle left. The clerk told me they got 8 bottles that morning and I got the last one (about 4:30pm). It’s only $29.99 for a 750ml and it is really good. A little bite up front but a smooth spice and licorice finish. I normally keep Bulleit Rye in my decanter (and still have some left), but if I can consistently find this it would be my go-to.

My wife and I have been through the bourbon trail between Lexington and Louisville twice in the last two months and hit a bunch of stops on the bourbon trail. I highly recommend that trail as a long weekend trip that you schedule in advance. So far Woodford Reserve was the coolest tour, but we would like to do a full on tour of all of them sometime in the future. If anyone in MM is interested in taking 3 days and planning out a big tour for a bunch of us to hit all the best places on the tour, I’d be in.
