Rye is without a doubt the best.
I've gone through many bottles of various mfg. And I have my favorites. Haven't tried old scout. I'll have to see if they have it at my local supplier.
Best I've had so far is whistling pig rye.
Not the most expensive. Just the best flavor. But it's also not cheap.

I do like a higher rye bourbon. I get more flavor.
