Rittenhouse Rye Whisky 100 Proof 700ml
Age: Non-Age Stated (But more than 4 years old)
ABV: 50%
Cask: New charred oak
Distillery Name: Heaven Hill
Review Date: 4/14/23
Color: Bright Amber
Nose: The nose starts off muted and almost non-existent. Then sweet, earthy notes poke through before moving to Gardenias petals mixed with paint thinner and spearmint. The nose does take while to develop, with quite a restrained impression on the first pour. Even after a few minutes in the glass, it remains simple and easygoing on the nose.
Palate: The palate is where this whisky comes alive. Big notes of blackberry compote mix with classic rye spice to show its sweeter side. There is milk chocolate, lightly toasted wood, and big vanilla and caramel notes coming through here. Its sweet disposition is on full display with this barrel and shows why Rittenhouse could easily be called a bourbon drinker's rye. Mouthfeel is thick and well-rounded with good solid heat coming from its 100 proof.
