I love rye whiskey and want to buy a really great bottle of it for special occasions. I’ve had Angel’s Envy rye and loved it, but want to know of others that I haven’t tried/maybe lesser known. Since it’s for special occasions, $100-$200 price range is fine.

    Personally I go with scotch if I want good whiskey. I find barrel aged whiskey to be better.

        Well, calzones are just folded over pizzas…

        And as rye is a whiskey I did give a recommendation.

          And 7up and orange crush are both sodas, but they are still different flavor categories.

              Oh nice, someone that can’t even comprehend the obvious metaphor I was using to show how stupid your response was. Guess it wasn’t just the response.

              I’ll make it dumber for you: If someone asks for a cola recommendation, and you waltz in and say you like ginger ale… People are going to call you out, just like they did here.

                Rye and scotch are closer in taste profile than coke and orange. Which is why i called it a chidlike taste profile.

                I’ll make it easier for you. You got upset because I wasn’t exclusively talking about rye and that hurts your pedantic brain.

                  First, because we wouldn’t want you getting confused and thinking you properly comprehend what someone wrote to you for once, no one here is upset. I’m just pointing out why what you said was stupid.

                  I’m laughing AT you because of this wounded pride lashing out you’re doing. Not upset, amused. 😘

                    Ah yes, piss oll over a conversation you had nothing to do with because it violated your sense of decorum. You aren’t the good or intelligent person here.

                    I would suspect that I pissed in your alts cornflakes the way you are speaking.

                    Edit: I don’t see you targeting the people talking about flour.

          I mean, they have different spellings and mean different things, but sure, you do you, man.

              … and what they say is: “If you’re talking about a dram that’s been made in Scotland… use the spelling without the e—whisky.”

                  The spelling of Scotch whisky (no ‘e’) is enshrined in law. It’s legally whisky and not whiskey. Why are you doubling down on being wrong? Do you just like arguing on the internet?

                    And it’s the difference of grey and gray.

                    You’re literally doing the same thing except you can’t understand that it’s a different spelling of the same fucking word.

                    You’re not a good pedant.
