Hii folks, I'm in UK and we can't get "Rye". Odin has "faked it" with rye bread or "Pumpernikel" I think we got it to.

SO I fancy doing a rye / corn whiskey, but I never tasted rye whiskey. Does anyone know if there's a commercial rye whiskey available over here, so I can see if I like it ?

Thanks for reading .

I think you did not look further / long enough.
Weyerman in Germany makes rye malt.
ex: https://www.brouwland.com/en/our-produc ... malt-25-kg

2 seconds search on GG: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Organic-Rye-Gr ... B007CX6NTU

Ok thanks for that - Apparenty they want E15 to deliver to Uk - so I'll look into that further when (IF) I get an answer to my question - Thanks again

ya gotta be able to get canadian club or crown royal over there. the shit is ubiquitous. it's a thin representation of rye grain spirit
but it will give you an idea.
if you can find "lot 40" that's a pretty decent rye, actually has flavour.

Oh sorry Pikey, when you said rye I heard cereal rye ! Not rye whiskey
Jack daniels sells some online, and even some others are on amazon
Can't tell you which one to pick tho !
Hudson or wild turkey are 2 that I drank not so long ago

Certainly I can get "Canadian club" - may even have tried it - but I'll get a bottle - thanks

"Lot 40 " you say ? Ok I'll go looking for that

bullit rye is fairly nice.
but put the money towards some grain and you'll find you like it for less and you'll have a few bottles to boot.

I can recomend Bentsticks Oat/ wheat/ rye. it's a 1/3 of each grain and half of the what and rye is to be malted.
I did it but with all the rye malted, a very nice sipper in the white so much so I prefer it to my aged stock.

Some Rye here

Have not checked if there is Rye, but they supply samples and miniatures

Hi Squint, You don't say much mate, but when you do - it's really worth listening to !

If any of our US peeps could have a look down the contents of your first link and tell us if one of those tastes like "the real stuff" - I'd be grateful.

tried: templeton, the cheap whistlepig (never tried the spendy ones), hudson (i think the manhattan one is blended as a cocktail)

heard good things about george dickel and copper fox but never tried them.

never had any luck with any of the bulliet, it's all heads to me.

have a good look for "lot 40" its worth it. http://www.klwines.com/p/i?i=1151223" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow

Notice how the % differs on the Rye's 40%, 42%, 47% etc, from different Distilleries,

for convenience, tesco have bulleit 95. think it's even on special offer right now. never drunk it myself though. like SP everytime i think i'd like to try an american whiskey for research purposes i invariably decide to buy a sack of corn instead..
rye malt is pretty widely available in the UK though, save the european shipping.

Pikey
