Rittenhouse Rye Bottled in Bond

Vanilla, caramel, five spice, white pepper, oak.

Surprising for a rye. Sticky body. A higher viscosity than expected. Nose is sweet. Vanilla and caramel with hints of oak and cinnamon. Taste is fire. Burns all the way down, at 50ABV, a little expected but definitely more than usual. Pretty mellow on the palette, tastes like baked bread with a hint of vanilla with a slight pepperiness from the rye. Burn on the finish with a slight numbing and hints of cinnamon.
