Went to a bar last night and they wanted $160 for a pour of Bookers rye. I know it's Vegas and it's their job to take my money from me but get the fuck outta here. I settled for an Old Fashioned which was pretty tasty. | |||

Wow. Paid for the bottle 3xs there. Anyone tried canadian 100% ryes? How do they stack up? Supposedly whistelpig is just alberta premium rye. What man is a man that does not make the world better. -Balian of Ibelin Only boring people get bored. - Ruth Burke | |||

Retail on that bottle was $300.00, so cost per 2 oz. pour would be $24 if they paid retail. Standard markup on whiskey in a bar here is about 350%. So yeah, seems pretty high even if they paid $500 for the bottle which is possible. "We have a system that increasingly taxes work, and increasingly subsidizes non-work" - Milton Friedman | |||

I have a bottle of the WP10 open and it's very very good, one of the best Rye's I've had. But, it's also $80.00. Is it $80.00 good? Let's just say if it were $50.00, I'd have more than one bottle.

Yes, i have a bottle, but its sourced from alberta premium though. Which is about 20 a bottle. What man is a man that does not make the world better. -Balian of Ibelin Only boring people get bored. - Ruth Burke | |||

I've read that, but what is the age of yours? Canadaian Ryes are interesting. Technically, they don't have to have ANY rye to be called a rye. "We have a system that increasingly taxes work, and increasingly subsidizes non-work" - Milton Friedman | |||

My wp is 10 year. Interesting on the CAN rye. The bottles ive seen are 100% rye. Ive seen 12 yr 90% rye pendelton, i just want brave enough to gamble. http://whiskey.underthelabel.c...mium-Canadian-Whisky What man is a man that does not make the world better. -Balian of Ibelin Only boring people get bored. - Ruth Burke | |||

My boss had me and another colleague over for a scotch tasting Saturday, as he is a big scotch drinker. 14 bottles on the table, lined up by category (blended, speyside, highland, and islay peats). Wow! Couple of things: 1. I like scotch! 2. I like peat more than I thought I would. 3. It is generally smoother than bourbon, especially the longer aged stuff. My favorites: Macallan 25 year, and 18 year; Lagavulin 16 and Ardbeg for a peaty islay style; Oban and shoot, I had a hard time finding a bad one. Now, back to your regular bourbon programming.... | |||

At the price they want for that stuff, I would hope you like it. "We have a system that increasingly taxes work, and increasingly subsidizes non-work" - Milton Friedman | |||

After trying a Nikka 12 Pure Malt whiskey and a delicious StaggJr (Batch #11), I helped (!?!) a good (!!!) friend finish a bottle of 2007 Saz18. We honored the "dead soldier" with a couple of healthy pours of PVW15. What a wonderful Whiskey Wednesday night.  TTFN, "Point Blank" Frank 8-) I miss Erhardt! | |||

^^^ Wow. Personal preference in order, please. Were the Saz and the PVW opposite ends of the spectrum of did their ages bring their profiles closer together? "We have a system that increasingly taxes work, and increasingly subsidizes non-work" - Milton Friedman | |||

The pouring order was determined by my generous host. The Saz18 showed fabulous mature rye up front with a long, long finish. PVW15 was a vibrant wheater with a fresh nose, vanilla & some spice on the palate and a long finish. I'm still nosing the empty bottles even today!

I found the BTAC Saz18 underwhelming, after having if a few years in a row, at which point I just quit buying it and instead buy the Handy and BabySaz instead. And trends be damned, I could just about drink nothing but Pappy 15 (and VW Rye).  | |||

My final opinion will wait till it's aerated some. But tastes would be tart apple, roasted burnt sugar (not what I think of for Carmel), rye spice. I'm pleasantly surprised. Beats Orphan barrel, knob Creek single barrel, and Noah's Mill. ------------------------------ Smart is not something you are but something you get. Chi Chi, get the yayo | |||
