Distiller's Background:
Launched just after Prohibition in 1934, Rittenhouse Rye was named for Philadelphia’s Rittenhouse Square and quickly became known as the “Choice Pennsylvania Rye.” Produced today by Heaven Hill, it continues that legacy with adherence to strict Bottled-in-Bond standards. When mixologists in the early 2000s rediscovered forgotten pre-Prohibition recipes, Rittenhouse was often the only rye that fit the bill. Since then, it has become a bar essential and a symbol of the American cocktail renaissance.
Serving Suggestions:
This rye’s structure and spice make it ideal for mixing in classics like the Manhattan, Old Fashioned, or Sazerac. It also holds its own neat or with a splash of water, where its depth of flavor shines. Whether you're crafting cocktails or sipping solo, Rittenhouse is the rye to reach for when you want to make the moment count.
Rittenhouse Rye Whisky isn't just a staple, it’s a standard-bearer. With its rich flavor, Bottled-in-Bond pedigree, and mixology cred, this whiskey defines what rye should be: robust, complex, and endlessly versatile.
