Do you mean high rye bourbons, or high rye ryes?
You mention Pikesville (which is one of my all time favorite whiskys) - however it is "only" 51% rye.

Fair point, I'm not really down with the lingo, apparently. Basically, I'm looking for very rye-forward whiskeys, which I assume will all be rye whiskeys. I like the spiciness and bite on the tongue.

Anyway I digress - I like the following ryes regardless of the rye content...
Wild Turkey 101 Rye
Russel's Reserve Rye
Knob Creek Rye
James E Pepper 1776 Rye
And some "high" rye bourbons:
Old Grand Dad (27%)
4 Roses Single Barrel (35%)
For something new and different (if you can find it)
Powers Irish Rye Whiskey
