    Willett for me, Negroni for the wife.
    Did you ever get opportunity to try the Pikesville rye?
    I have; higher proof whiskies (and I think that was 110-115) can be hit or miss for me.  I wasn’t a huge fan of it straight, it made a great Manhattan, but at its price point I couldn’t justify getting another for mixing.
    I guess it is 50 bucks now. I don’t think it used to be over 40. 🤷🏼‍♂️  The Rittenhouse rye is very similar and half the price. 
    Usually around $60 here.  I'll check out the Rittenhouse and Knob Creek; with rye I've generally just been defaulting to Bulleitt since I generally just use them in manhattans.

    Really liked the Elijah Craig rue for the price. Like $25-30 for a 750

    I much prefer the older offering I think the 6yr. That said, more than adequate for cocktails. 🥃

    While I don’t have a spirit to share at the moment, the series “The Heist” on Netflix, their 3rd ‘story”, is pretty neat.
