"Now though, in a turnabout, the prospects for rye have brightened considerably. Fueled by the same sense of curiosity and geeky connoisseurship that gave birth to the microbrew industry, the single-malt avalanche and myriad small-batch bourbons, rye has been resurrected by whiskey lovers who want to preserve its singular, almost exotic essence."

I'm going to get my 8 sided die after that fellow. ;)

Interesting read. I highly recommend the Old Potrero.

yeah good article. and the old potrero is fantastic. i haven't had a bottle, but had some at a bar near the anchor brewery. unfortunately anchor can't let you taste the spirits on the beer tour.

i have some old overholt in the cupboard right now--i enjoy a manhattan, and much prefer a rye manhattan to bourbon.
