Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Rye Whiskey

I guess I'll stick with my Danials old #7. I still remember all the Cowboy movies when I was a kid and cowboys saying "Bartender,Gimme a rye"

My namesake uncle used to sing this when he came for homecomings as he was tipping one back. He's been gone for 40 or 45 years and it gave me a tug when I recalled this.

My great-grandfather MIGHT have had a hand in this...
Its pretty good stuff, though I am a little biased.

Old Tex Ritter was my great grandmother's young cousin, and she had watched over him when he was a child. When he came into Houston, he would always call my Dad who, for some reason, was his favorite relative on our side of the family. (Generations on that side of my family averaged around fifteen to sixteen years, so there was not a great deal of age difference.)

I saw him perform this song the first time when I was about five years old. The last time I saw him do it, I was married and probably had at least one daughter. He had perfected his performance. I never see a bottle of rye that I don't think of Tex.

+1 nice choices. The Van Winkles is the best...if you can find it...and can afford it.

I like a good rye now and again but lately have been quenching that thirst with Dry Fly out of Spokane Wa. Wheat whiskey but very rye like
