So I've got a pretty solid collection of bourbons and even a few smoky scotchs that I like on occasion. I've always had several ryes but I'm looking to add to that. Looking for recommendations for bottles up to maybe $100. For reference I currently have WT 101 rye, Woodford rye, Michters single barrel rye, Barrel seagrass ( weird but has grown on me) and sagamore double oak rye.

I love the Templeton 6yr and 10yr and the 10yr should be well under your price limit.  Should be about $80.  For something different, I absolutely love the Templeton Stout Cask Finish.  I don't usually like the cask finish stuff (sherry, amburana, etc.) but this stout cask blew me away.  Not sure how easy it is to find now.

Willet rye is probably my favorite. Great to sip it in a cocktail. Basil Hayden dark rye is a good shout. Both are in your price range.

I've actually tried a few different Templeton expressions over the years and unfortunately I've never really liked it. Maybe something I should revisit but I haven't been impressed.

Willet is always high on peoples lists but I never see it around here, will definitely keep my eyes peeled tho. The Hayden dark rye sounds interesting. You ever tried the middle west pumpernickel rye?
