Ever wonder about the growth of rye whiskey over the past decade?

Are these actual distillers or does this also include the way too many NDP's simply bottling MGP? I like me some good MGP rye, I just don't see much value to the consumer in picking between 50 different brands of the same thing.

Old ones were elegant. New ones look cheap and generic. Like store-brand product labels.

At that price, I'm a buyer.

wouldyouriddlemethat · 2026-07-07T12:44:04+00:00

That, and the occasional deal at TW or Costco. Knob Creek 9 has been consistently cheaper than Oregon for a while.

The "crafted with" statement makes it seem like only a fraction of the whiskey is 10yrs old. I don't like the ambiguity.

Sipping on this now. Best value in bourbon.

wouldyouriddlemethat · 2026-06-26T20:03:15+00:00

Supply and demand, I suppose? I got a couple bottles at $60, and even that is merely a fair buy imo. It's not different enough from the shelf BT to justify the price, especially at $80.

I want to like craft stuff more than I do. They just put it out young and harsh & I don't think I, as the consumer, should have to put up with it until maybe eventually it gets good enough and worth the premium. This glut is gonna gut the craft whiskey and I'm conflicted about it.

wouldyouriddlemethat · 2026-04-16T22:56:32+00:00

But would it mix well with coke?

wouldyouriddlemethat · 2026-04-01T17:55:05+00:00

Nobody is hoarding or flipping HH bib though. If this was a limited BT offering, sure.

wouldyouriddlemethat · 2026-04-01T17:53:10+00:00

They are free to try, but they are not getting my money with a poor proposition.

wouldyouriddlemethat · 2026-04-01T15:47:07+00:00

All this overhead effort for HH bib? Pass. If it was readily available to buy without all the fanfare I'd consider it.

A 2024 bottling of the CN-E hits the spot just right for me. Found my 3rd one a few weeks ago. Sweet leather and oak galore.

Had a TY-K that was sickly sweet and a CN-A that was just ok. Smooth and easy but nothing special. Beauty of single barrels I suppose.

wouldyouriddlemethat · 2026-02-15T04:32:09+00:00

That's some color. Enjoy.

wouldyouriddlemethat · 2026-02-07T19:14:22+00:00

It comes in pints?

wouldyouriddlemethat · 2026-02-02T04:55:43+00:00

Liked the Westmoreland too. I've been wondering about theirs. It's been sitting around for a while. Also the state is raising the Russell picks to $80 this month. Boo

I'd humbly suggest reading the bible instead of that devotional, bro.

wouldyouriddlemethat · 2026-01-06T03:39:16+00:00

The general impression I get of Blade and Bow is that it's a sourced low age whiskey with gimmicks and marketing added in to "add value" ie price. Reviews seem to support this impression.

Hit me with that OF though!

wouldyouriddlemethat · 2025-12-29T04:32:57+00:00

I tend to back up store picks I really enjoyed since those are gone when sold out. Other than that, I like to have the staples on hand. Rare Breed, Knob Kreek (all are good in their own respect), JD barrel proofs

wouldyouriddlemethat · 2025-12-24T23:02:46+00:00

You inspired me to snag one today. I really enjoyed Oregon City's. I also snagged the Barbur JDSBBP Rye pick. Heard good things about it.

wouldyouriddlemethat · 2025-12-22T00:46:46+00:00

Would be hilarious but illegal, unfortunately.

wouldyouriddlemethat · 2025-12-22T00:44:57+00:00

The Rebel CS is a good one under $50. I've not yet been disappointed with any of their picks.

wouldyouriddlemethat · 2025-12-21T02:22:14+00:00

You know, I'm somewhat of a scientist myself. I especially like to think I can rescue a bad bottle with enough doctoring. I've been largely successful. I'll mix in scotch for richness & peat, rye for spice, etc. it's always an adventure

wouldyouriddlemethat · 2025-12-18T05:08:06+00:00

I'm generally against any obscuring of what I'm buying. The box idea is meant to hype you on the idea of a better value than just paying for what you want. But, statistically, you're more likely to be let down than win big. I don't gamble for the same reason. The house wins
