Ryes are my favorite. Especially a high proof, viscus textured, spice bomb. Tumbling Dice Rye is my joint at the moment. JD Single Barrel Barrel proof Rye is on its heels. Cheers yall.

Not all ryes are spice bombs. Check out some Old Potrero single barrels. I have a regular and a toasted and both are over 130 proof and since they are malted rye they come across as vanilla bean, cacao, and expresso. Hardly any spice except maybe a touch of nutmeg.

@@apeekintime The senator store picks and Sagamore store picks (and the 8 year/port finish/sherry finish) are also fantastic non-spicy ryes.

I've got ECBP for bourbon, this for rye, RB12 cask strength for Irish, Laphroig cask strength for peated scotch and Aberlour A'Bunadh for non peated.

One of my favorite ryes. Doesn't drink crazy hot especially for a 130° , 100% rye - rye. Got my first one about 3 years ago at $80 Then a lightning strike - guy bought 10 cases on clearance and put them on sale for $29 so I bought 2 more. Probably should have bought 2 CASES more but hiding those would be a difficult endeavor. Great bottle if you like ryes

Then after i gave it to him and he tried it again, he didnt really like it either.

Alberta Premium Cask Strength is super crushable for a 125+ proof rye whiskey. Was playing some video the first night I had it and didn't realize I'd consumed a good 20% of the bottle until I got up... and nearly got down. Very good stuff. I've only gone back to the bottle a couple of times since but it's the only Canadian whiskey that has a permanent spot on my shelf.

flan is yummy! Also soups are a great option for variety and proteins. You just might have to blend down the ones with big chunks. Also, doesnt hurt to try baby food! Sounds strange as an adult, but the typical soft foods for adults can get pretty boring. Other options: mashed potatoes, jello, applesauce, oatmeal, and beans.

Small diced apples, chia, almond milk, oats, cinnamon, vanilla (and canned pumpkin if you wish). ‘Apple pumpkin pie oatmeal…it’s awesome). Nuke it for like 5min-ish or on half power for 10-15. So good. Or omit the pumpkin and top it was strawberries/blueberries or even some jelly of your choice once cooked. Cheers! Oh. And I love this rye. Apricot-lime all day.
