Rittenhouse Rye Bottled in Bond
Rye
Rittenhouse Rye // Kentucky, USA
First introduced in Philadelphia in 1934 and named for the city’s historic Rittenhouse Square, Rittenhouse Rye originally debuted as a two-year-old whiskey. In 1948, it was reintroduced as a four-year-old Bottled-in-Bond expression.
After Heaven Hill acquired the brand in 1993, production moved from Pennsylvania to Kentucky, where it is now made with a mash bill of 51% rye, 35% corn, and 14% malted barley. Produced according to Bottled-in-Bond regulations, it comes from a single distilling season, is aged for a minimum of four years, and is bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV).

Tasting Notes
"The aromas of the rye are filled with campfire-roasted marshmallows and baking spices. The whiskey is a little spicy-hot, but the notes of brown butter, burnt sugar, and dried fruits help to tame the fire. The finish lingers on your palate with maple syrup and honeysuckle."
