Rittenhouse Rye Bottled in Bond

Whiskey club, March 2017

Sweeter and smoother than most ryes

Thanks to a generous sample provided by GeologyJack, I got to try this. The High West Midwinter is absolutely my gold standard, but this one here has to be the best value for money! If you're looking for a great rye that can charm everyone, and a a reasonable price, this is the must have go-to brand. It has the classic rye aromas of freshly baked bread, eucalyptus, and burnt sugar. The taste is classic too---minty, a bit spicy, but more of the baked spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Exceptionally well made. The taste then lingers on, leaving a minty finish. An absolute must-have for your every day go-to sipper. Plus...I'm a bit biased towards this just for the name...I lived in Rittenhouse Square, Philly, while working for Accenture right out of B-school. Brings back fond memories. Thanks Jack!!!
