I have been into Willet bourbon lately. Their reserve rye is also damn good. Since youre in Baltimore you can pick some up, Ive been seeing it around lately. Should run about $40 or so.
The family reserve rye is labeled as a 13 yo product but it's closer to 19 yrs from what I've heard. Retail isn't too much, something like $70 but it's true value is more than 10x on the secondary.
The Willet folks put out solid stuff. Bear in mind that only the 2 yo rye is their own product. There is some 7 yo rye in the market and the grand marnier finished rye as well. The Willet Family Estate Bourbon (not the pot still bong shaped bottle) is much harder to find but can be amazing, depending on the barrel.
The four roses private barrels are excellent. Check out perfect pour who have had a couple excellent picks.
