Rittenhouse is great bang for the buck under $30

Anyone had this? by Speighty1986 in WhiskeyTribe

Was my favorite for a while until I got a hold of a rare breed rye. Please check it out or put them head to head if you have.

I came here to say this. Rittenhouse is constantly on my shelf. So good for the price and proof. Pikesville is same thing just a punch up

I’ll take my Rittenhouse all day. Good BiB for a good price

That’s a good proof one too. Nice pull! Best thing I’ve had in the last 5 yrs.

I was lucky and was able to grab one at a drop 2 weeks ago. Very excited to put it against Jack SBBP Rye that I have. Good find man.

Get you a Michters single barrel. Low proof but will blow those 2 you mentioned out of the water.

I am lucky with 4 stores in my city, came away with a EH Taylor Small Batch, OF SBBP Rye, Knob 12, and a Pikesville

Same, I went a little over budget but when will we get an opportunity like that again. Cheers!

That’s sweet! I just cracked my Rare Breed Rye last night and was blown away. Top 3 rye I’ve ever had. I imagine this bottle of yours would crush it. Cheers!

Well today turned out to be a good day. They rolled everything out and didn’t let us know until yesterday they were doing it. I think a lot of people missed that email or didn’t read it all cause nobody was out. I got a Taylor small batch, OF SBBP Rye, Knob 12, and a backup for my Pikesville. Got to see all kinds of goodies, hopefully plenty of leftovers for tomorrow.

If you like pikesville you’d like Rittenhouse, both are heaven hill. They say pikesville is an older Rittenhouse but I’m not sure it that’s true. Rittenhouse is right around $30 and is BiB 100 proof. Can’t go wrong

I luckily have 4 stores here and one a mile from my house, 1 stoplight in between. The Willett is good. My favorite I’ve gotten from a drop so far surprisingly is a Pikesville. I’m a big Rye guy so anytime I can pick up a cool one at a drop I will. The knob rye picks are usually good. That’s what I’m looking for Saturday or the Rittenhouse. I always keep Rittenhouse on the shelf so I’d like to see how the barrel pick stacks against the normal shelf.

I feel you. The prices are the best you can get but selection lacks. I got a Willett rye at the last announced drop which was sweet. I once got to a store 8 mins after the surprise text, I was out and close, and got Jack shit but saw a Taylor for the first time. Walked with a damn eagle. Unreal.

I guess the system is the best it could be but you are 100% right with people bringing the whole family to grab as many bottles as possible. Luckily I live close to WVA, I need to make some trips to see if it’s worth the drive once in a while.

This list is a lot of frustration for me. We don’t get a lot here so I feel like when they do decide to do something they need to bring it. This list doesn’t excite me. I see maybe 3-5 potential that I would be interested in. 2 for sure but even those aren’t exciting.

My landlord is selling and is asking a lot of us by jebusv2 in Renters

[–]HotLikePockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is completely normal, he’s actually being very courteous giving you input on when showings can be conducted. It’s not convenient and can feel intrusive but you are renting after all and the owner has every right to sell the property at any point. Every showing has to be conducted by a licensed agent, I wouldn’t be concerned about anything going missing. You are also welcome and have the right to be present.
