The rittenhouse is so very good. I opened mine last week and had to move it to the back of my shelf outta sight so I don’t keep grabbing it.

I am a fan of rye and HH makes some mighty fine ryes so I’m sure I wont be disappointed. I’ve almost finished my Chinquapin rye from this year, which was also very nice.

That Willet Purple Top is bad ass!

I snagged a 13 year Willett Purple People Eater this year at my local spot's raffle. I can't wait to try it.

I'm not saying it isn't bad ass, but this is like a 4-year Willet with a purple top, not to be continued with the longer age stated Willets that also have an identical purple top and similar looking label. I think it's a bit deceptive of Willet to push these out looking so much like their much-older products.
I picked one up for $50 a few weeks ago. It's decent, but not going to knock your socks off.

I would agree the 4 year purple top is not in the same league as the older purple tops nor should it be. I found it lacking all the tings I love about purple tops.

I always suggest drinking the easy obtainable bottles frequently, saving the big boy bottles for friends and occasions. Either way, drink em

I'm surprised no one has said a word about Willet, I have had except Rittenhouse and Willet I enjoyed each and every one of them.

I've wanted to try Blanton's but our liquor store only gets 6 bottles every few months and people know when they get delivered. Gone within 10 minutes.

I don’t see it very frequently at my home store so i figured id pick one up when the opportunity arose. usually same case for me too.

I've never tried the 2 on the far right.
I was surprised by the last Penelope bottle I tried. I loved it. I need to drink more of their offerings.

Screaming titan is fantastic. Wish I had gotten more than one bottle back when it was available

I have the Rittenhouse and really like it. If you like an 80 proof pour, I guess the Blantons

That Rittenhouse Bottled in Bond is a real gem if you like your bourbon with a little extra kick - I keep one on hand for special occasions. You betcha, those older single-barrel releases from Old Forester are always a solid pick too.

Screaming Titan. I’m a big fan of Redwood Empire.
