My favorite rye is by Rocker. They are in Colorado, and do not distribute nationally, unfortunately. The distiller is going for a niche, local market, he tells me.
Anyhow, all other rye whiskeys taste ‘thin’ in comparison. Super rich and super sippable.
Yeah, their tasting room is a nice hangout in a nice area with other stuff in walking distance.
Weird hours, so be aure to check.
