I've been to a couple different government liquor stores (including the well-stocked one on Cap. Hill) and was referred to "a grocery store". That hasn't panned out either. Also, the state shop seems to stock only Jim Beam Rye. Is that a decent brand for cocktail consumption? If not, can someone reccomend another? I'm a novice. Thanks, Tue Aug 18 15:11:00 -0700 2009 19098 equinoise 1 4957263 You have to go to DeLaurenti. I have asked for and they have brought in many different bitters including Regan's and Fee Bros.

I've bought Old Overholt Rye from the West Seattle liquor store and have been happy with it. Under $20 if I remember right. "Ri" seems to be overpriced for what you get.

You may have to check the WSLCB web site for locations.

Don't know much about rye, except that i like to drink it! Crown Royal and Canadian Club are widely available, and i think that the labeling is differnet in canada, so sometimes just called canadian whisky, which is fairly equivalent to american rye (i could be wrong, this is only what i have gleaned from bartender chat and some friends in toronto who drink gallons of CC and call it rye). Sometimes bourbon is replaced for rye in mixed drinks, and it is a little sweeter than rye, but some really outstanding small production varieties are easy to find (love Makers Mark and Knob Creek).. Wild Turkey (bleh) is another US brand of rye. I think that Jim beam has a few different labels that vary in qualilty (like Johnny Walker red vs black, etc). So, if i may ask, what are you mixing?

DeLaurenti (www.delaurenti.com) in the Pike Place Market had a nice selection of bitters last time I was there. Can't say for sure that they had an orange bitter, but a quick call to their wine shop should find out for sure. Wed Aug 19 18:41:29 -0700 2009 4957130 10904 Booklegger451
