I found myself in possession of 4 different bottles of rye whiskey. So naturally, the thought that came to mind was “double-blind taste testing!”. We had 6 friends over and Lis poured into lettered glasses.
The results: the Icelandic rye I brought home from our trip was the youngest, and showed it. Somewhat disappointingly, the mass-market brand (Bulleit) beat out two smaller producers (High West and Putnam), though not by a lot.
