Jim Beam Rye
Rye
Purchase Price: $17
Place of Purchase: Warehouse - New York, NY
Rating: 7.9
You can’t miss this bottle, the label is as yellow as a Hi-Liter and for all I know might have been the inspiration for that ubiquitous office supply. This is entry level-priced rye, but so are Old Overholt and Rittenhouse and they both offer more rye bite and depth of complexity for roughly the same price. UPDATE: I’ve seen some new bottles of this and it looks like they’ve scrapped that infamous shade of yellow that enabled you to check if it was in stock from the parking lot for a much less obtrusive beige color. And yet another proud tradition is asked to “lie still” while having shovelfuls of dirt thrown over it. A shame, really.
