I've had Old Potrero and Four Grain Bourbon and thought they were both fantastic.
But thats not inconsistent with the article. They were different and interesting but not necessarily better than the big distilleries.
- tptacek 16y agoOld Potrero isn't a bourbon; I wonder if the dynamics of rye are different from those of bourbon. Rye tends to be cheaper and less aged (I prefer it to bourbon, for what it's worth). Also: Old Potrero is Anchor Brewing. Not exactly a small company. Woodford Reserve (Four Grain) is Jack Daniels. See what I mean about Big Whiskey? It's inescapable!
- HeyLaughingBoy 16y agoDo you have a recommendation for a good rye that's not too pricy? I'm fairly new to bourbon: the only one I've tried and enjoyed is Knob Creek.
- tptacek 16y agoThe great thing about rye is that it isn't pricey. I like Russells on the low end; the "Makers" of rye seems to be Templeton these days; on the high end, I'm really liking Whistlepig.
