Rittenhouse Straight Rye Whiskey

Rittenhouse Straight Rye Whiskey is meticulously crafted at Heaven Hill Distillery, located in Bardstown, Kentucky. This historic whiskey is made from a mash bill comprising 51% rye, 35% corn, and 14% malted barley. It undergoes a detailed aging process of at least four years in new charred American oak barrels. It imparts a rich and complex flavor profile featuring spice, fruit, and vanilla notes with 40% alcohol by volume (ABV). The Bottled in Bond designation of Rittenhouse Rye ensures it meets strict quality standards, adhering to regulations that mandate it be produced in one distilling season, by one distiller, at one distillery, and aged in a federally bonded warehouse for at least four years.

One unique aspect of Rittenhouse Rye is its versatility and robust character, making it suitable for various serving styles. It pairs exceptionally well with hearty dishes like smoked meats and strong cheeses, enhancing the dining experience with its bold flavors. This whiskey is also perfect for enjoying neat on rocks or classic cocktails like the Manhattan or Old Fashioned, allowing its nuanced characteristics to shine. Over the years, Rittenhouse Straight Rye has garnered numerous awards, including the prestigious North American Whiskey of the Year at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, solidifying its reputation as a standout in rye whiskeys.
