Rittenhouse Straight Rye Whiskey is produced in the tradition of the classic Pennsylvania or "Monongahela" rye whiskeys, which are believed to have had a spicier and fruitier flavuor profile. This style is said to be a high rye mashbill consisting of 80-100% rye grain. Ironically Rittenhouse is a low rye (51%) which is typical of the modern Kentucky rye mashbill.
Bottled-in-Bond, today's Rittenhouse carries the distinct, spicy yet fruit forward flavour that is long associated with the brand. RRittenhouse Straight Rye Whiskey is the choice for both mixologists and whisky aficionados alike.
