You Can Only Pick One Barrel Proof Rye, Which One Survives? Old Forester vs Jack Daniel's Rye

[@Indianawhiskeyandbourbon]

Get them both..... the Old Forester is good to have on hand and feel like it's a special pour. The Jack SB Rye will make you feel like your pour is a good deal. The more i drink the JD SB Rye, the more i like it though. Just my opinion. My introduction into high proof whiskey was a bottle of JD Single Barrel, Barrel Proof Chris Fletcher 2021 at 130 proof. I'm hooked on high proofs, especially rye....

@@Indianawhiskeyandbourbon this is the way. That’s an intense introduction to whiskey. Good for you haha we have made a drastic step towards ryes this year. Some great stuff out there and makes me excited for what’s coming

[@roscoepcoltrane23]

Depends on the day. Both are great.

[@BourbonBarkeep]

Absolutely. Which one do you go to?

[@roscoepcoltrane23]

@@BourbonBarkeep I like the OF the best I think. Either one could win in a blind on different days.

[@BourbonBarkeep]

Couldn't have said it better myself

[@thomasanderson2870]

Both are great 👍 Cheers 🥃

[@BourbonBarkeep]

There are certainly blinds, you could sit for another hour and just sip and enjoy.

[@themooseloungepodcast]

I've not had either one of these. Haven't ventured into rye much but now I want to try both of these

[@BourbonBarkeep]

What an adventure you are about to be on! Keep us posted.

[@thomasanderson2870]

Kinda like trying to pick your favorite kid 🤔🫣

[@BourbonBarkeep]

Depending on the week, I can see how you would flip flop back and forth haha

[@MrCrazypops]

This is a battle of the BP Ryes that is too hard to call imo. Except OF is practically a unicorn and JD is on every store shelf in MD and $20 - $100 cheaper.

[@BourbonBarkeep]

You aren't wrong. JD BP Rye is even hard to find in MO and haven't seen it in KS yet.

[@RobackD]

Angels envy rye = rum finished

[@BourbonBarkeep]

Any good? Heard it’s a cavity waiting to happen.

[@RobackD]

@BourbonBarkeep it's definitely super sweet, but it was the first rye whiskey that made me go back for a second pour. I still enjoy going back to it every now and then, it's a bottle that is always on the shelf

[@BourbonBarkeep]

@@RobackD everyone has that guilty pleasure bottle and I love it. Doesn’t make it wrong. That’s why I try and preface some commentary with “my palate” because everyone is different. Makes it more fun. Hope you poured some tonight!
