Rittenhouse Rye Bottled in Bond

Bottle pour at home, neat in a Glencairn. Second tasting after first trying a few days ago. Nose is hot and spicy. Definite rye bite. Some grassy notes, strong pepper spice is nearly overwhelming the woody notes, hints of caramel and tobacco. This is a solid rye, but is a perfect example of why I prefer a wheater. Just not smooth at all, and the rye spice overwhelms. 5/25/19

One of the best Rye's I've ever had and a great price point too.

Sweet rye and cinnamon on the nose, spicy vanilla and cinnamon on the palate, long spicy finish. A splash of water opened up vanilla on the nose, rye sweetness on the palate, and tamed the finish a little.
