Nothing like getting off the Graveyard Shift having a sippin on some BondStone Double Oak and seeing a new post from the Burbon Junkies!

[@ZacharyFrye-Lofley]

Get the triple oak. Hits heavy in a good way

[@C_GOODIES]

Got that bottle for Christmas and although its Wilderness Trail juice, I can't get into it.

[@fattybourgeois1014]

Just got off a night shift also. Made some Benchmark Old Fashion's.

[@TheModernNeanderthal]

Glad you brought JD bonded rye into it. It’s the king of budget ryes for me right now. Last bottle I bought was under $30

[@sccrash3938]

yup, bonded rye is about 30 here too. Excellent, especially at that price

[@Rubberduck-tx2bh]

May have to give that a try! My go-to has been Wild Turkey 101 Rye.

[@andrewhuggins412]

Karyn is an angel! Green river is such a great value

[@alexmayer9556]

Green River is crushing the budget game right now. I’ve given a couple of bottles as gifts because they are cheap enough but good enough for people who are into whiskey but not way down the rabbit hole like a lot of us!😂

[@djvie24]

Best whiskey channel on KZbin, and there are some great ones!

[@bassmanaustin]

JD Sb/bp rye is phenomenal. Haven’t had one bad bottle so far. I always buy bulk when it comes around because I don’t see it on the shelf on the regular. I have some 133.3 proof and it’s blowing my mind. I need to conserve my stock. It’s so hard to. I’ll have to try the bonded rye now. Thanks

[@49erFanMatt]

Good to see Cookie continuing to contribute. 😂

[@RanardUSMC]

Green River has blown my expectations out of the water. Just did a tour recently too. Gotta ask for Tour Guide Tim!!! 10/10 A++

[@MrTonicAmps]

@Dan, JD Bonded Rye is sub $40. Goes for around $37 in my area.

[@dylanschneider4469]

Yup, the 1 liter Jack bonded rye is 45$.

[@jasonburetta8496]

Take a shot every time Dan says, "That's Wild." lol ;)

[@Elektricbrn]

Hard to beat their prices and the new blends since Bardstown takeover.

[@_justinbestclarinet]

How would you compare this with Redwood Empire Emerald Giant? They’re the same price by me, and I’ve been digging the Emerald Giant

[@GrnEyez64]

The Green River sounds like something I need to check out. How would you compare to Redwood Empire "Emerald Giant" or Pikesville?

[@michaelmueller1520]

thank you for talking me out of that green river for the jack bonded

[@DimitarShishkov]

These are my favorite ryes in the mid $30s budget range, great flavors for the value

[@JaredHardwick]

How does it compare to High West Double Rye, Bulleit Rye, Redwood Empire Emerald Giant Rye, or Sagamore Rye?

[@themadyankee724]

See Cookie. Add like. It's a simple yet powerful cycle.

[@cazper37]

@bourbonjunkies (Dan specifically) JD Bonded Rye is a $30 bottle, but considering it's 700ml I'd call the price a tie with Green River.

[@toastyyt4336]

What are some ryes that are the closest to OF rye? I really like the flavor profile so wondering if any ryes are close to it

[@parkersmith711]

Just as a point of reference, I recently bought a JD Bonded for $32.99 in TN on a visit and then here in AL, the state ABC stores have it for $36.99.

[@chrissuho1745]

You guys need to try wheel horse rye then it's 101 proof 95/5 from green river but goes to Massachusetts or something to get bottled.

[@christinecamley]

This Green River 95/5 Rye is delicious for the cost. Even in Canada it makes this a good grab. I can happily sip this in a Manhattan and for a single malt scotch lover that's awesome! I get mint, clementine, tobacco, leather wallet, a bit of dill. Do you guys get any dill? I usually pay a lot for a 95/5 Rye and yet I'd take this one easily for a change! I often drink Sagamore Cask Strength Rye - but this is nice. Not sure about sipping. I love good spice. I love sipping Sagamore. The Green River isn't a sipper but for cocktails it's nice. I need more for sipping Rye. Cheers.

[@ramackay]

I know it’s younger, but how does this compare to Emerald Giant?

[@CowboyWhiskeyAdventures]

Ok I'm gonna go out and find me some of this! Don't know if I can get it up here in Washington State but hey, I'll do some hunting.

[@Usonian7]

I snagged the gr store pick from rishi's here in GR, after a guest mentioned it on your podcast.

[@jasonhunt2909]

I’m looking forward to the Green River/BBC rye SiB picks ❤️

[@seanstein8313]

I like this cookie cat

[@BB-kr7ep]

LOL I always thought the same thing as Dan premadonna.

[@Seoul_of_bourbon]

I would like to see a comparison with the new riff BiB rye. Same mashbill similar price.

[@noworldforeric]

Cheers guys. Elijah Craig is dropping a Toasted Rye this summer. Can't wait for it.

[@eafarrar]

When you say "lemongrass," do you mean like Froot Loops flavor? (That's allegedly the main flavor in those things.) Or do you mean lemon *balm*?

[@MichaelC_22]

Delicious and crushable. On my 3rd bottle already.

[@roscoepcoltrane23]

Love the Green River Rye.

[@RJR2222]

Would you to see you do a GR Rye pick in the future.

[@jasellsrealtygroup_boston]

Cookie, don’t ever leave us

[@bourbonapprentice]

I’ve passed on this one. Guess I have to try it

[@richmcelmeel5430]

Just grabbed for 28 today

[@Butterstuff29]

Better than Wild Turkey 101 Rye?

[@City_Homesteader]

Did you forget the goat of 95/5's? Bulleit Rye.

[@keithbuker8984]

Put it up against the JD bonded rye. Would be a good blind.

[@breakingbelmont]

Wait, what’s this about Dan not liking Rare Breed Rye? Are you joking????

[@hedgehog8844]

It’s Pikesville level for $15 less

[@andrettski8686]

No Green River in my state.

[@lukstephens1]

bourbonoutfitter.com/search?type=product&q=green+river Not sure if they can ship to wherever you live but BO has it. Use BJ at checkout

[@andrettski8686]

@@lukstephens1 Yeah, I know I can order online but then tax and shipping turns it into a $50+ bottle depending.

[@gdsupreme5040]

Got it for $28 and like the wheated better but I'm just not as much of a rye guy.

[@jpcampbell]

JD bonded rye is $34 or so.

[@bradballard3408]

Budget rye blind??? OF 100 rye, JD bonded rye, a turkey or michters rye, and Green River

[@bradballard3408]

Or Bardestowns origin rye

[@Rubberduck-tx2bh]

I think you have to DEFINITELY throw in Wild Turkey 101 Rye. I'm a budget rye junkie, and it's my #1.

[@touche22]

Need a Legacy Cheap Rye Flight Fight Rittenhouse, JD, WT101, etc.

[@joshblanton8765]

I hated this bottle. It felt like I was drinking a flower garden.

[@joeyoliver504]

Can we all pour one for a RIP to the spotify podcast :(

[@TimNagy-pr8gk]

I got a 17 year heaven hill an a 17 year old Fitzgerald want to trade

[@shawnmckissick7332]

But is it killer?

🍪 Cookie 🐈

[@scottsalom3891]

Can you stop smelling… who cares? Its all about the taste. Like less than 1 % of the people smell their whiskey

[@SantoMuerte187]

Nice pick fellas , definitely going to try it out. Just wish the cat wasn't in the video

[@gingergeezer3685]

You don't understand the BJs. Cookie is integral to the operation.

No, no. She's been out for 40-ish years. Everything is Post-Madonna at this point!

[@gingergeezer3685]

Could we please retire the GOAT narratives? On the actual topic. I haven't enjoyed Green River whiskeys . May have to give them another chance down the road,

[@ApolloSJ1]

Did you have a chance to try Dan’s barrel pick from last year? It’s been my favorite bottle since I bought it, truly amazing stuff
