Trying to ease into it with some of my everyday fave Buffalo Trace

Why you drinking out of a flower vase bro?

Not sure if this is a legit question or not.

No time for a cigar today but might as well have a nice night cap.

No, it wasn’t about punctuation. Are you actually wanting to know if a rye is a bourbon, or are you just trolling? The honest answer is no, a rye is not a bourbon. They are similar, and a lot of distillers make both. A bourbon has to have at least 51% corn in their mashbill, while ryes have at least 51%...well, rye.

Nope I wasn't trolling........I didn't think it could be classified as a bourbon, that's why I was asking.........still new to bourbon, and still learning......thank you for the clarification. I do see a lot of rye's posted in here though.

Yeah, they’re similar enough that they’re often grouped together. You’ll see a lot of ryes in the bourbon section at the liquor store, or at least in the next section and usually made by bourbon distillers. Take that Sazerac for example, it’s made by Buffalo Tracethat also makes Eagle Rare, Blanton’s, Weller, EH Taylor, and Pappy. A lot of guys prefer the rye’s spicier profile to bourbons which tend to be sweeter.

I do like some rye's and sometimes more than bourbon, but there are some tasty bourbons out there........I am a big fan of BT though, they tend to make legit juices.

Did a herf and bottle share with @jcolan1 last night. Had pours of these four. Thanks again James for the opportunity to try the Weller and MWND.

A special one for the birthday today: Parker’s Heritage Collection Wheated Mashbill KSBW, cask strength:

I bought this some years ago for about $80-90 but since then, the secondary market prices have gone nuts. I think the last time I pulled it out of the gun safe was my birthday last year.
