Have always liked Whistlepig, one the only Rye's I like. Had some of this at a friend's yesterday and had to stop on the way home, it's that good. Let me know what you think InspectorM®.

Yes, it is delicious. The Uncle Nearest rye is what caused me to take an interest in rye Whiskey. I bought a bottle of Whistlepig 6-year rye last month. It is good, but not as good as the Uncle Nearest IMO.
Salty55® has recommended High West rye, as I recall. That is the next rye on my list to try.

Yes, I mentioned High West Double Rye, for an Old Fashioned. I don't think I've tried it on its own, but at $35/bottle, hard to do wrong.
If you've never tried, give Rabbit Hole Heigold a shot. That one really gets my attention...25% malted rye which smooths down the spiciness. There's a touch of barley as well...overall not as sweet since the corn is tamped down a bit, too. But...it's really easy sipping...almost too easy. Definitely a bit different in quite a good way, IMO.
Cheers!

Thank you for the clarification and recommendation. I have not tried Rabbit Hole Heigold yet, but it is on my list of bourbons to try.

Good call. I tried it this evening and it is exactly as you described.

About one hour from now, I'll be pouring myself some Uncle Nearest rye to sip.

I like it because it makes 2k® think he is a great lover not letting facts get in the way.

not bourbon, but one interesting rye blend

is Johnnie Walker High Rye (not expensive either)
a very light and mildly spicy scotch; one of those that is a little too easy to drink
great on ice on a warm afternoon/evening

Have you tried the Devils River Rye? I like it.
