OK, my wife is heading to Spokane for the weekend, and can bring back one bottle (due to Canadian customs limits). There are some American whiskies I cannot get locally; these are some of my choices:

EH Taylor Single Barrel Bourbon, around $75 High West Rendezvous Rye, around $62 Woodinville Straight Bourbon, around $54

Any suggestions? I've never tried (or even seen) any of these.

Either of the first two should be nice. I haven't tasted the Woodinville Bourbon. My choice would be the High West Rendezvous Straight Rye, assuming you like Rye. (N.B. Rendezvous Rye is also currently # 33 on the Connosr Top 100 Highest Rated list.)

The answer is obviously the Woodinville.... I would consider it an honour to try a rye that @Victor has not yet tasted (though I would be sure to save some for him...).

@Nozinan Woodinville is a Washington State bourbon, and probably not well known elsewhere. I may ask my wife if she and her friend can each bring back a bottle for me...maybe the High West and the Woodinville...

You may also want to take into consideration that High West was just sold to Constellation Brands. It is always a risk that the new owners may change things up and the product may suffer.

@gfc good point...look what happened to Forty Creek special releases after Campari bought them out...

@gfc Hmmm...good point. I'll put the HWRR at the top of my list.

So, my wife picked up a bottle of High West Rendezvous Rye for me--as well as a small bottle of Dry Fly Port Finished Wheat Whiskey (one of the Dry Flys I haven't tried yet).

Haven't opened either bottle yet--but I will...one of these days...
