For years I was a Scotch, Bourbon, Irish Whiskey drinker. After reading posts here about Ryes, I grabbed a bottle of Bulleit and was instantly hooked. I've been drinking nothing but Rye for the past 6 months or so. I just poured my first Scotch in many, many months, (a single malt Isley) and all I can taste is Peat. Guess I'll pour myself some Rye in order to get this nasty taste out of my mouth.

Bulleit Rye is a great intro - wait until you try Michter's or Willett!
Yes, both are on my short list.
Willett is very good. I like Templeton a lot as well
Go with a Highland scotch after drinking heavy ryes, it'll make the transition back to Islays much smoother.
Lately I've been into oak aged sipping rum. Kirk and Sweeney makes a really nice one, aged 12 years, very smooth, pairs exceptionally well with several cigars, and it's only $35 a bottle. It's the same folks that make Masterson' Whiskey and Uncle Vals botanical gin. Worth checking out

^^ Truth
And this group has also gotten me into rum as well.
I love scotch but, like bourbon, demand has driven up prices and I am not paying $60 for a bottle of bourbon that, a couple of years ago, could be had for $30.
That's what's nice about having an expanded palate - there's always something affordable that you like to drink.
You mean there's other stuff out there other than Jack, Johnnie and Jim?
I've never had a Rye before. Off to the Liquor Mart.
High west makes a couple of good ryes
when you take the devil into your mouth, you're doomed !
For he is lying there in wait for you inside that bottle of whiskey...
...waiting to get down into your guts where he can do his devil's work.
Liquor is the most foul, evil thing in this here world.

Thomas H Handy Sazerac Rye maybe one of the best whiskys in the world. Give me a bottle of this any day over any of the Van Winkle bottlings :applause:!
Yes, I have done sipping rums, but it's been a while. Mt. Gay Extra Old for when I had the bucks, Pyrat for everyday, and Black Seal for when I was broke, lol.Go with a Highland scotch after drinking heavy ryes, it'll make the transition back to Islays much smoother.

I'm sure it's fantastic, but at $70 a fifth it's a little out of my comfort zone. Once my house sells, I should get a bottle to celebrate.

Try the High West Double Rye.
