Notes: Rittenhouse Rye pays homage to Philadelphia's historic Rittenhouse Square and is known as a classic Pennsylvania rye. It's a Bottled-in-Bond whiskey, which means it must be aged at least four years and bottled at 100 proof, making it a favorite among mixologists and whiskey enthusiasts alike. The rye whiskey's spicy profile and balance make it ideal for classic cocktails, and its revival has contributed to a renewed interest in rye as a category.
