Shocked that JD SBBP Rye didn't make the list.

[@dgsutube01]

Same here. I've really enjoyed those single barrels and I think they have been my favorite ryes of 2024 that I've had.

[@MrCrazypops]

Me 5

[@AnAbortiveRomance]

It really depends on the barrel you get, some are fantastic, some are meh

[@chriscasperson4588]

super good. Matt is just not himself. 😂

[@DietBajaBlast]

But that would get in the way of the bottles he's paid to push!

[@kgubbs30]

New Riff 8 year rye is incredible and deserves more attention

[@brandon_sprague]

Love you Matt. Glad you loved the AS

[@garyfranchy7726]

Even if you're not new to the channel, his name is still Matt.

[@ADHDWhiskey]

True

[@whiskeylandtv]

I love Rye!

[@Samsestuff]

Your #1 Rye sounds similar to the Doc Swinson’s Golden Hour. I think the Golden Hour is probably lower proof but packs a ton of flavor. Looks like it’s still available on Seelbach’s if you’re interested. I picked mine up at a local liquor store.

[@jcockfie]

Short Barrel put out some unreal single barrel 12 year Ryes this year. And Sagamore 9 year, unbelievable bottle.

[@danieleberly8861]

Driving to the UP this weekend, going to pop my artic spirit. Don't see anyplace more fitting in my future

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Perfect!

[@SmokedTamaleAlan]

Nice 13th century! My city making waves! Smokeye hill aged in the same place! Haystack needles rye was pretty tremendous 🤌🤌🤌

[@marlonious7650]

JD SBBP Rye stole the show for me.

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Yes! Still the best available rye

[@dlfendel2844]

FYI, Matt, the Bulleit Rye? IT is AMAZING with Dr. Pepper the way Jack is with Coke. Somehow the florality (is that the word) just plain blossoms (I guess it was) with the good Dr. along. Try it!

[@Lisa-k1e3j]

Matt's humor makes this our go to bourbon show!!! From Nebraska!!😊😊

[@ghostkill3rs124]

Knob creek 10 year rye was great. I’m surprised it wasn’t brought up enough by many reviewers

[@ericmalmstrom9943]

Sagamore Barrel Select store pick. Like dessert in a glass. Makes a great old fashioned by itself without any additions.

[@christaylor77723]

This years Thomas Handy is off the charts. Sagamore 9 year was excellent also

[@Bourbonandbrews]

Jack Daniels single barrel , barrel proof at 130.8 proof

[@darkpatches]

+1 2024 Bourbon and Beyond pick. I bought one, tried it that night, raced back the next morning when they opened to get the last bottle.

[@ajbucher9440]

My best rye this year a 12 year MGP 95/5 128 proof barrel pick. Beat out this years handy to me

[@RicG-99]

Great list! Arctic Spirit is great!

[@atorng2172]

My cheap arse pallete tells me old overholt 114 is the right profile at the right price. That being said I love hearing about expensive stuff I will never try. Solid content!

[@Akerfeldt77]

Gotta buy more Sagamore. I've been meaning to and keep getting JD SBBP ryes instead

[@49erFanMatt]

Agreed!!! Arctic Spirit is awesome. Amazing nose on it!!!

[@MrCrazypops]

JD Sib BP Sagamore 9yr New Riff SiB rye All bangers and my top 3 for 2024….. because I know you were curious.

[@evanchiappetta2846]

No Jack Daniel’s SBBP Rye?

[@ADHDWhiskey]

That was on my 2023 Best Whiskey list

[@MatthewsGauss]

All of New riffs ryes have been amazing. Hoping I can get some of the rare ones this year

[@justinvandee9428]

I need one of those Evernorth pick bottles of yours for my collection.

[@erichhaney684]

Thomas handy made feelings come out

[@hypnocracy6102]

Ever North Exodus Rye 2…but my Good Ole Stand By Rye…JD SiB BP Rye. Always a pleasure.

[@TheBourbonJerk]

Definitely with you on the Arctic Spirit. Absolute monster! Your pick is outstanding as well. Cheers🥃

[@nickp5511]

Great bottles! I really enjoy the Prideful Goat, Pursuit United DO Rye, Michters BS rye, and Sagamore rye’s! Cheers!

[@Paul-l2v]

Matt, visit Private Label Distillery is Colorado Springs anytime home of 13Th Century Whiskey!

[@tylerkuenstler5169]

I’d recommend Hard Truth and Sagamore. My fav rye and it’s not even close. *unless you can find a store pick bardstown origins rye (they are barrel proof)! That will knock your socks off

[@superdogondope8915]

Is Old Forrester single barrel 129.5 proof rye any good?

[@galloway.daniel]

WhistlePig Ten Commandments was excellent!

[@HatchGreenChiliMan]

Bought 8 ryes in 2024, here’s my power rankings. 1-Art of the Spirits Madeira finish/sweet plum 2-New Riff Balboa Rye/ lemon heads 3 Old Forester CS/well balanced 4 291 BP/lemon zest 5 Still Austin BnB/licorice 6 Sagamore Rye/sweet salmon eggs 7 MWND act12/good not great 8 Leopold Bros Maryland Style/ bolder salmon eggs

[@hunterstutz]

Hey Matt. Which years of michters bs rye do you feel beats 2024?

[@DrewsDram]

Curious if you tried a Rare Character TKO (pink wax) this year. It turned out towards the top of my rye list.

[@bourbonapprentice]

Arctic Spirit sounds fun

[@shayneroberts9793]

Hard Truth Double Oaked was pretty darn good!!!

[@CraigDoverton]

Anyone have recommendations for a rye drinker who enjoys Pikesville, Redwood Empire, Russell's 6 yr old rye, and Few rye? Not a huge fan of 100% rye or Sagamore, prefer a mixed mashbill, prefer a rye that isn't straight up mint, spearmint, and rye toast. Like a spicy, fruity, sweet rye with baking spice and hazelnut or chocolate notes. If you have any recommendations I am asking for a friend. 😉

[@ericmalmstrom9943]

If you like a lighter, really balanced rye (51 to 65 % rye), I suggest you try Michters US*1. My favorite light rye is a Rossville Union Bottled in Bond 100 proof. (Avoid the Rossville barrel proofs as they are very high rye and a veey different profile.)

[@eafarrar]

I just saw that Bhakta yesterday on sale (well, $130) and I was looking for your notes on it! Good timing. Now do I pick it up...🤔

[@Bigglieboo]

Can you do another video of your best "obtainable" rye whiskeys? Most on this list I will come no where close to and therefore, it isn't too helpful (but I still want them all). Take a step down to our level. 😂

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Arctic Spirit was available at the distillery, through the Bourbon Junkies Patreon and available to the public on BourbonOutfitter.com Racantour Rye was available to the public in BourbonOutfitter.com My Evernorth Barrel Pick was available to my Patreon Community and I believe made it public. Average Drinkers Barrel King Single Barrel was available to her Patreon, then public, then to Barrel King Menbers. Bulleit 12 Year is literally everywhere. 13th Century & Prideful Goat are territory specific, but not hard to find. Pursuit United Rye is distributed in like 9 states but can also be purchased online. The vast majority of these could have/can be obtained with little work. I'll make a video for what you're looking for though. Probably release it on Friday.

[@brandon_sprague]

@@ADHDWhiskeyPreach.

[@jasonczfan8658]

I want that 8 year Prideful Goat. I haven't seen it yet in Southern California

[@odehhaddad3959]

Seelbach’s bro

[@darkpatches]

Your fake sponsors are hilarious! Where do you find the time to make the props?!

[@davidvoth7218]

Opened an Artic Spirit for a holiday party and the bottle was gone by the end of the night. Happy I got a backup.

[@B1gC4st]

Where does one buy evernorth spirits? Or is it still stuck in patreonic hell hole?

[@bevporter6281]

Congratulations to Ever North!

[@SawdustNCoffee]

12:17 😂😂😂

[@jeffcooper5026]

Not very often I disagree with your reviews but seriously... Where is Jack Daniel's SBBP Rye???? It's my number one Rye and number two over all bottle next to RR15.

[@ADHDWhiskey]

It was like #2 on my list of 2023 Whiskeys of the Year.

[@EZKEYZ1]

The artic series is nooooo where to be found. Must be you gotta know someone :(

[@brandon_sprague]

It’s sold out, was available at the distillery, Michigan stores, and on the Bourbon Junkies patreon

[@bcaff66]

Not a huge fan of the Bulleitt 12yr. It was good, not a top 15 Rye

[@gasva911]

🤘

[@andrewaring]

Beagle rare is fire recieved and cracked last nigt!

[@codyking1001]

Make a video and revisit the dickel Tabasco

[@stvrjohnson]

Woo hoo

[@Tyveculus]

Go ahead and send me some of this Barrel King stuff, their memberships are a little too pricey.. Thanks :)

[@jw-lk1pe]

isn't that your buddies' rye you are pimping? c'mon man

[@brandon_sprague]

To be fair it was long sold out before he made this video so it doesn’t help us literally at all 😂. But realistically he drank it blind with 24 whiskeys in his whiskey of the year blind and it placed third overall

[@Sb69minis]

Horrible list

[@raivkka4313]

Got the Prideful Goat 6 year based on this channel's recommendation, absolutely did not like it. Still like the Willet better.

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Willett is a different animal. Very cinnamon forward, and very very good.

[@stopcallingmeshirley]

Pendleton 12yr Rye Not rare but not to be ignored
