Following up on my review of Pikesville Straight Rye is this review for its younger cousin, Rittenhouse Bottled-in-Bond Rye. The information I could find for this Heaven Hill offering seems to vary a bit depending on where you look and I couldn’t locate an official Heaven Hill specifications page for it. In any case, feel free to chime in if you are aware of one - this is the best I could find for now. Mash Bill: 51% Rye, 37% Corn, 12% Malted Barley Age: 4 years ABV: 50% Price: $19.99 (typically seen for $20-$25) Nose: Surprisingly soft and mellow. Dusty cherries, malty grains, breakfast cereal. Buttery oiliness. I wish it was socially acceptable to have this for breakfast. Palate: Rich, oily mouthfeel with gentle rye spice. Peaches and cherries, vanilla, nutmeg, smokey char, and little bits of flake salt. Finish: Medium length. Sweet and fruity, with mild spice, smoke, and amber maple syrup sweetness. Overall Impressions: Not quite as intense or complex as the Pikesville, but still very good in its own right. I think this bottle has either softened a bit since I first first opened it or I have been drinking too much rye lately. It doesn’t seem nearly as spicy as it used to be so I’m curious how the next bottle I crack open will compare. In any case, this is a remarkable bottle for the price (~$20) and something that will always be in my home bar. It is excellent neat or as a mixer. I highly recommend this take a place on your shelf too! 3.75 ~ 85 ~ Good
