Angel's envy rye is awesome. When I finally found it they had it behind the counter and would only sell one bottle per customer. Lucky I had my wife with me that dayWe find ourselves swimming in Rye... Angel's Envy, Woodford Reserve, Knob Creek... and one other that escapes me.
The Angel's Envy is ****ing excellent... made in Rum barrels... Oh so good.
Wish the rye version was that cheap.Costco had Angels Envy earlier this week at $40.

I like the regular Angel's envy too but the Angel's envy rye is a real step up in flavor. And in price .. almost double the price
My understanding is Blantons was always a limited production. It was glowingly reviewed in a national heavily trafficked blog and it has been difficult to get ever since.

Yeah, it's quite good. Wife is really into Ryes lately... we picked up a bottle while we were on a distillery trip in KY last month.
She really likes it... and I've never seen it sold here in Indy... wonder if we'll be able to find another when we empty it...
Definitely hard to find. I guess I got lucky with my first bottle last year... This year I got one from our finance guy, big bourbon guy. Was disappointed that we couldn't get one at the Buffalo Trace distillery.
Has anyone ever been to Old 55 Distillery north of Crawfordsville? Thinking of checking it out today.
The rain ruined my plans for cycling or shooting today, so we went out to Old55 for the $12 Groupon tour and tasting. This definitely fits the definition of "craft distiller": two men who grew up on a farm in Newtown, Indiana came back to start a distillery on their father's property. It looks from the outside like a large machine shed.
They grow their own corn and take the products all the way to bottling. The label is put on with a desktop labeler and bottles are signed by the family.
-We had a clear whiskey (pretty much a moonshine) which I'll admit was pretty smooth for that type of product.
-Single barrel bourbon
-The high end products: a sweet corn bourbon (sort of somewhere between a bourbon and a brandy IMO) and a really excellent single barrel uncut bourbon.
I enjoyed the visit. If you have a weekend afternoon to spare, I would recommend checking them out.
I saw Angel's Envy Rye on the shelf behind the counter at Eagle Creek Liquors yesterday.
Last time I found it in indy I think I paid 110 a bottle. Maybe a little high by $10 or $15 but it was worth it to me because I wanted it and couldnt find it except in chicagoHow much?
