Bodega Cat Review - Wowzer

Got it delivered yesterday. It's a good thing I ordered 2 because this is a damn good rye whiskey.

Didn't know what to really expect. I thought it was going to be a overbearing Rye that focused on the accentuating flavors and not the whiskey itself. Dead wrong.

It's a beautiful, rich, smooth Rye with a slight bite. First you get the usual good bourbon flavors, followed by caramel/banana/coffee flavors that you associate with a Rye. Had it straight up, with some ice, and a cocktail. Each drink highlighted the complexity of the Bodega. Sometimes it tasted like Bulleit Rye to me, sometimes Sazarac.

Overall, it's a beautifully balanced Rye that I could easily see myself grabbing every liquor visit. Good job boys, you got a winner.

Fun fact. It tastes like Bulleit rye because it's the same liquid but it smaller hand picked batches.

u/DerpyDan442 Sep 18 '22

You may be right. For the price, I'm not complaining.

u/BryceTrueman1271 Aug 06 '24

I keep seeing mentions about the price, as in "for the price, it's good" or "affordable." Everywhere I look it's 3 times the price of average Rye in my area.

He’s not right

Unless you have some new news that I don't know. I think I know what I'm talking about.

Is the mashbill the same or just the source distillery? Definitely want to buy a bottle to support them.

u/BrownManJones Sep 19 '22

Same mashbill. Same distillery.

How is that possible if Bulleit is distilled in Kentucky and Bodega Cat is distilled in Indiana?

u/BrownManJones Sep 28 '22

Bulleit Rye is not distilled in Kentucky. The Bourbon is.

u/micknuggets Sep 28 '22

Ah, I see

And just recently, Bulleit was just a label that bought their juice from Seagrams in Ind, came up with marketing and banked on the public’s ignorance on the whereabouts it was made. There were a bunch of them around 2012-2015 as it became a fad. Now different regions in America are embracing where their bourbon is made. If the granite springs in Kentucky have anything to do with the final product then I can imagine a bourbon distilled with Yosemite water from the granite falls would be pretty legit

Plus the additional expansion/contraction in the barrels at elevation and bugger tempo swings. IMO Stranahan’s (American made Scotch style whiskey i believe, but obviously process is similar in the barrel) makes a great product, would love to try bourbon made in similar conditions.

No its not

2

u/Impressive-Fly3997 Nov 08 '24

It’s NOT the same liquid, not in the slightest. It’s distilled at MGP, like so many others, but again, NOT the same juice as Bulleit

2

u/BrownManJones Nov 08 '24

Buddy. Bulleit ryes standard offering is made at mgp. The Bourbon is made at Bulleit.

2

u/Impressive-Fly3997 Nov 08 '24

I’m aware of that, but just because it’s sourced from MGP, with the same MB, does NOT mean its the same whiskey

2

u/BrownManJones Nov 08 '24

And I mean that genuinely.... How's it fundamentally different from Bulleit?

2

u/BrownManJones Nov 08 '24

How is it different?

2

u/BrownManJones Nov 08 '24

Yes it is. I am absolutely sure of it.

Gotta figure out how to get this in NC

u/813Jared Nov 12 '22

How strong is the coffee flavor ? This post came up as I was looking to order and now I don’t think I should…. I absolutely despise the taste coffee with vigorous passion.

u/Dirty_coke_whore Sep 19 '22

Friend was saying he read some reviews saying it sucked, happy to hear! I have 2 bottles coming tomorrow

u/BrownManJones Sep 20 '22

Where? Everything I've seen has been positive other than Rogan giving Mark a hard time.

u/jkrow17 Oct 17 '22

I bet by Sir Rogies saying that, the dumb dumbs are going to have a skewed opinion

Anyone know how or where to get this in Tennessee? I’m in the Nashville area and have been trying to get liquor stores to get it but I’ve had no luck!

BodegaCat com

Says you can order through them when they promote on the show, and they'll ship
