If the river was whiskey and I was a duck,
I'd swim to the bottom and never come up.

I'm a rye drinker... I prefer it to bourbon or scotch. Rye was the predominant American whiskey before Prohibition and was the favorite slug of the gunfighters and cowboys in the Old West (when they slammed their money down on the saloon's bar surface and yelled, "whiskey, barkeep," they were asking for rye). That "Old Farm" brand is pretty legendary. It was distilled by the Overholt family of western Pennsylvania, who also made "Old Overholt" rye (a brand still distilled today under the Jim Beam umbrella). There used to be a 100-proof Bottled In Bond version of Old Overholt, a more premium offering, but today's 80-proof variety is an entry-level rye.

^^^Now I'd like to try a shot of Rye. Your description has enticed me well and good. :wink:

How about Rock and Rye a cureall for the common cold and so much more!

Rye is increasing in popularity these days. Good brands today (especially for the money) include Bulleit Rye, Sazerac (6-year), and Rittenhouse 100 proof. If you like the Manhattan cocktail (as I do), nothing beats one of those made with rye instead of bourbon. The heat and spice of the rye nicely contrasts with the sweet vermouth.

Oh Man Boris.... Now you're talkin. 8)
I've had a few Sazarac Cocktails at 'The Sazarac Bar' ( in the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans, a great stop if you want something special to remember. 'Top shelf' the whole place.).
Loved them. I never knew Rye was involved in the alchemy of it all. I'm going to see if I can secure a bottle down here. I love my Peaty Islay Single malts.......But a solid dose of Rye might just find its place on my cupboard also.
I think 'my beard' has been craving it for some time now. :lol:
Thanks for the reccomendations.

Nice to meet another enthusiast of fine spirits. I'll be visiting New Orleans this fall for a music festival, so I hope to get to the Sazerac Bar!
