R1 bourbon?

[BengalMan]

Honestly, if your going to spend $40 on a rye, if an extra few bucks isn't a big deal, pick up the Sazerac 18 ($62) or the Thomas Handy ($62) from Buffalo Trace. These are both 1000x better than R1 which is a blend. The regular Sazerac is even better than this, and less than $40. Another great rye is the Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye, which goes for about $50, also much better than the R1.

Hope this helped.
