Rittenhouse Rye, 50%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2006 ● Reviewer: John Hansell ● Category: Rye Whiskey
One of the best kept secrets in rye whiskey. Not quite as refined as the Sazerac Rye 6 year old, but it makes up for it in its sheer brute force. It is darker, deeper, and more rustic (but in a good way). Chewy toffee and dark molasses balance the spicy rye notes and soothe the alcohol heat.
