My top 10: 1 - Whistle Pig 10 from VERMONT ? Best there is ! 2 - Old Potrero 'Hotalings', 18th Century, & 19th (San Francisco)(in order of preference). 3 - Van Winkle Family Rye 4 - Bulleit Rye (big bang for buck) 5 - Sazerac (too smooth !) 6 - Templetons (Iowa)(way too smooth) 7 - Sazerac 18 (this low only because of stupidly high price) 8 - Thomas P Handy (too hot, cask strength) 9 - Rittenhouse (can't beat the price) 10 - Alberta Springs Sipping Whisky (10 yr & way way too smooth). wj
