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!!!

@Jack: yeah, that part of Philly was amazing. Full of youth and vitality. Miss though days
You are most welcome Pranay! I like RR straight out of pocket flask outside by a fire or a trout stream. I like especially passing it around and if it comes back empty well I know I'm with the right people. BTW my daughter lived right on the square too when she was in med school at Penn. I loved visiting her there. Great part of Philly!
Rittenhouse is the perfect foundation for an Old Fashioned or Manhattan. So far, I have found nothing better.
