Rittenhouse Straight Rye 100 Proof, 70cl American WhiskeyBy Winebuyers

Rittenhouse Straight Rye 100 Proof is a whiskey from the US, the spiritual heartland of Bourbon and rye whiskey. It's popularised around the world by classic cocktails from the old fashioned to the Manhattan. This whiskey is distilled and matured at Heaven Hill distillery in Bernheim, Kentucky, and has a storied heritage with roots in Philadelphia. It's a spicy, full-bodied rye that's bottled-in-bond, which means it was produced at one distillery in a single season, matured for at least four years and bottled at 50% abv. Rittenhouse is a solid benchmark whiskey for classic cocktails. Try it in an old fashioned, Manhattan, or Boulevardier, or simply sip it neat. The whiskey has a delicately honeyed taste with gentle aromas of toasted rye, caramel, and sunflower seeds. The palate is bold, spicy, and peppery, with a heat that gradually subsides into toasted rye bread, cooked orchard fruits, and runny honey with a hint of orange zest and cola cubes. This whiskey is suitable for both men and women.
