Rittenhouse - $10
This is a Kentucky rye whiskey crafted using the same traditions that Pennsylvanians used to craft Monongahela Rye over two centuries ago.

After the grains are mashed and fermented, the whiskey is distilled and aged in new, charred American oak casks for a minimum of four years (although the average age of the rye is closer to six years old). Following maturation, the whiskey is bottled-in-bond at 100 proof.

Tasting Notes

Proof	Color	Nose	Taste	Finish
100	Dark Rich Caramel with hints of Copper.	Light on the nose, the rye spice floats out first followed by a modest caramel & vanilla. Pepper, leather & fresh tobacco mix with rye spice, a dusty oak & tiny bit of iodine to make for a light, but pleasant, sniffing experience.	What the nose lacks the taste more than makes up for. Big bold rye spice floods the palate along with honey, red pepper, cinnamon & caramel syrup. There is a bit of fruit like those apple pear hybrids and some leather hanging out in the back. Subtle, but definitely making themselves known. A splash of water kicks up the vanilla, ice seems to bring out more of the rye and in a Manhattan or Old Fashioned it makes one heck of a statement.	Long and delicious with the rye fading to some oak with a hint of caramel, corn and barley
