Pikesville Straight Rye

I know that Rittenhouse seems to be the Rye of choice when it comes to Heaven Hill but I have to throw my support behind Pikesville. I say this with a healthy appreciation of Rittenhouse but for me, Pikesville just has a little something extra. The bump in proof goes a long way and this Rye has a few extra dimensions for me that Rittenhouse is lacking, tasting more refined and nuanced, at least to my palette. I love Ritt in a cocktail but it’s not a Rye I’d feel the need to sip per say. Pikesville I could go in either direction. Anywho, just my pair of pennies. Cheers!
