Hey all--

I'm wondering if anyone out there knows of any older (and higher-proof?) LDI/MGP ryes? I really enjoy Bulleit (approx. 4 y.o. 90 proof) but I was wondering if anyone out there is bottling older stock from LDI and/or at higher proof. I know about Smooth Ambler / Old Scout, but they're not distributed in OR and WA. Everyone else who's bottling and LDI rye seems to be doing it at 2 years or so and 90 proof or less.

Any thoughts?

Just giving this a little bump (I hope that's OK) to see if anybody has thoughts on this, before I try to mail order an SAOS rye.

I can only tell you this. E.H. Taylor 100% Rye is my favorite.

I could be wrong but I believe Willet's rye is from MGP and I know I have seen a 7 year old out there

Don't see a ton of Willett rye here in the PNW...but OLCC does list the 2-yr. Willett-distilled WFE Rye and a couple of 9-year bourbon barrels. I'll keep an eye out.

Thanks...
