Joining in the fryeday festivities, looking forward to the second taste of Willet.

Blanton's is mash bill #2, not wheated.
Ahh gotcha. I like Blantons at max maybe $80. But I don’t like it above that. But I know it’s secondary is more. I bought a gold for $180 before and definitely did not think it was worth $180.
If I can catch another Blantons at retail, I’ll grab one.
 
My ranking:

BT, just because... so good. $25/bottle is a steal... A STEAL

Willet

Belle Meade... first time trying it so will put it in the middle.

Crown... surprisingly good

Peerless... this is not worth $100/bottle in my opinion... not even close. This should be $40/max. Good heat, lack of flavors. Big disappointment, unimpressed. I wanted the wow factor, but nah.

Which Peerless Rye were you drinking? Single Barrel, Small Batch, Barrel proof?
 
The Willett rye is really interesting, its definitely not a super spicy rye. Floral notes and I get dark fruit /cherries and a very dark sweetness on the palate, almost like molasses.
 
I've seen a bunch of different labels on the Peerless rye. Mine says "Barrel Proof" up top, others say "Small Batch" but those also seem to be higher proof. Are they different?

Yes, I believe they are. Mine is the Small Batch @ 109.6 proof. Granted I just had a pour that was not as impressive as the sample I had at the store before I bought the bottle.....but I just opened it yesterday. Time will tell
