What are your favorites? I haven't gotten very far into this type of whiskey. So far I'm really liking Bulliett.

Willett 3yr is pretty damn good. Had it for the 1st time at a bar and bought a bottle. Just bought my 2nd one Tuesday night. 1st rye I have tried.
Pikesville, Heaven Hill brand, is a really good one. Just under $50, and at a 110proof, has a lot of flavor. Rittenhouse is also another HH brand. That one also has a ton of flavor, and just under $20. If you don't mind spending the money, Whistlepig 10yr is good, but I've only had store/private picks. I got a couple of those for around $80. There are some other really good ones, but those would be over $300.
Had a rye aged beer last night at Country Boy. One of the best I had all night.
Drink rye a lot. To repeat, Rittenhouse BinB great for money. Bulleit is good for the money also. Right now I have Angel's Envy, Woodford Reserve, Pikesville and Russell Reserve Single Barrel. Woodford is my least favorite as it is only 51% rye. Tastes more like just a high rye bourbon. Can't decide about AE as it is finished in rum casks. That gives it a very pronounced butterscotch finish. Pikesville and RRSB are my favorites with me liking RRSB best.
I love the Pikesville Rye for an every day available Rye. Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Rye as well. Liquor Barn has a good store pick Russell's Reserve Rye single barrel right now.
What I'm drinking. Jimmy was doing a promotion and signing bottles when I bought it.
