I, too, like Elijah Craig. Generally at a good price.
I’m having a hard time finding a good rye at a reasonable price. The Templeton Rye mentioned in the article is good, but isn’t actually made from 100% rye. My local favorite is Catoctin Creek’s Roundstone Rye. It’s 100% organic rye, but it’s only aged 2 years. It’s a relatively new distillery, and as the company grows, I assume they will have better aged ryes. It’s about 50% higher than other ryes, however.
I'm not much of a "konnisewer", but Very Old Barton ain't bad for a 6-year old source of sipping alcohol.
