I noticed they had a "rye" version in addition to this one. What's the difference besides the obvious?Good inexpensive daily with a good following. I keep it on the bar. That's a rye though so keep that in mind as you further your education.My bourbon education continues.
U caught me before the edit cuz that's not the rye but you are already aware they do have a rye. I'm the worst at describing flavors which is why you'll never see me do a review lol but the ryes typically have a spicier fuller flavor. Since youre calling it education i was mainly saying when you try a rye just note it because some people don't like the rye taste and therefore say they dont like whiskey not understanding that all whiskeys are not ryes and/or don't contain rye in the mash.
Haven't had that one in particular, but rye tends to be slightly dryer and, to me, more complex, which is why I favor it. The ones I gravitate toward have a lot of vanilla and caramel from the wood, plus lots of cinnamon, clove, cracked pepper, and even some notes of dried fruits and black tea.I noticed they had a "rye" version in addition to this one.

Bourbons tend to be cereal sweet, with a round corn flavor, lots of candies citrus peel, burnt sugar, and light baking spice.
Just my two cents
Oh, and my latest purchases in the last week or two are Jeffersons 10yr Rye, Allagash Coolship Resurgam (brewery only Geuze) and Allagash FV 13 (tiny run of wild ale) you can see the neck if the rye bottle peeking out behind the beer lol

No pictures but I picked up a bottle of Midnight Moon blackberry moonshine which is delicious mixed half n half with ginger ale. Also picked up a bottle of Absente Absinthe refined. Had absinthe years ago but it didn't have the wormwood root in it and it's now legal in CO. Had two glasses last night and all I can say is yum! Like a muscle relaxer in a bottle! lol
Walked into my local and grabbed two bottles on a whim.....
Angels Envy Bourbon
Jefferson's Presidential 18 year Bourbon
and a bunch of beer.
I'll post a picture when I get home.
Very very very excited about the Jefferson's 18!!!!
