RR10 is pretty good. It used to be a real steal at $28~29. The price recently jumped to $34ish and then $39, which puts it up against stiffer competition, such as Four Roses Single Barrel. Still good though, just not the steal it was.

In general, I like ryes and high rye bourbons. I also enjoy single barrel barrel picks from many sources, but nothing I have to wait in line for.

William Tarr Manchester Reserve 114 is a 7 rear bourbon/rye blend that’s really good, but quite expensive. Despite the “small batch” claim on the bottle, every 114 I’ve ever seen has been from batch A903. Only the lower proof expressions have different batch numbers, so read the batch number as just a code for the expression. Regardless, it IS tasty, but it’s not a daily, and the competition at its price is VERY steep.

Good nugget and to. Eyes on it now. And agree with you on the 4. Great stuff and interesting distillery they we they handle the yeast. I love rye's and wheated bourbons. And good rums. Hmmm. Maybe I like everything.

I first toured Four Roses in the middle of the night when I was driving for a Bourbon chase team (probably my favorite stop). Later, I toured it during the day. It’s fascinating to compare 4R, with their multitude of yeast/mash bill variants but consistent aging, to Buffalo Trace with their limited recipes but widely varying rickhouse conditions.
