I didn't choose any of them, I didn't even know they were coming

Canadian Rye doesn't look like it has a max proof when distilled: https://archive.ph/20120709161352/h...ca/en/F-27/C.R.C.-c.870/section-B.02.020.html

So I guess go nuts?
Nailed it. Also--this is not light whiskey--for the record.

If you notice the code on the bottle (Barrell codes all of their products) the "V" is for the Valleyfield Distillery in Quebec. The rye whiskey from that particular distillery is available under a handful of other labels as well. This was likely barreled at a screaming high ABV (north of 70%) so it's no surprise it comes out of the barrel hot.

The 16+ year Canadian rye that went into Seagrass 16 (the Gray Label release) was from this same distillery, for whatever that is worth to you. Generally speaking I find the Alberta rye to be a bit tastier...but to each their own! I've tried a handful of the "V" coded ryes and some are really enjoyable, some are just kinda...not.
 
Enough is enough! Time to swap some samples again. I'm looking for any OF Single Barrels (especially the ryes), any special Michters (not the standard US1 stuff), good shit like Old Carter and EH Taylor not small batch, you get the picture...

I have about 200 open bottles to choose from.

Whatcha got?!
PM me photos. I've got all that except for Old Carter.

OF Single Barrel Barrel Strength (trying to get the rye. Maybe tomorrow.)
Michter's Toasted Bourbon
EHT Single Barrel
EHT Barrel Proof
EHT Rye

Plenty of other great stuff.
 
I ordered the 2012. They sent the 2011. Which is harder to find and cheaper. Do we complain? No. Do we now have an excuse to order the same bottle elsewhere and maybe some friend too? Yes, yes we do.

Flaviar did that to me on a New Riff bottle. They sent the single barrel rye when I ordered bourbon. I kept the rye and got the bourbon at a discount as an apology. The rye is my favorite of my 3 New Riff bottles.
 
I sold some chips recently and boasted to my wife that I have some money for valentines. But I just splurged on a bottle that’s going to be delivered in an hour. I need an excuse why we can’t go out for valentines dinner. Lol


No one asked, “What did you splurge on?!”

Here it is. Paid close to full secondary. Lol
