3.5 stars - Very Good; 2 bottles I feel guilty every time I buy a bottle of Rittenhouse. It feels like when a restaurant forgets to add the appetizer or second cocktail to your check. Do you say something? Did they do it on purpose because you were a polite and patient customer? What is my obligation? This is one of the best rye whiskies and is consistently $17-22 in my area. Wow. Heaven Hill is the master of high quality and low cost.
