A rye whiskey in the Pennsylvania style, this "carries a famous old Philadelphia name". Very tasty and aromatic.
Dried fruits and soft spices. Cocoa and butterscotch, alongside orange peel, cinnamon and caramel.
Thick, fruity palate with chocolate oranges, cassia bark, nutmeg and oak.
Tangy fruit and quite coppery. Marmalade and spice.

This stuff is $20 in Jackson, Wy.. What can I say? It's superb. Perhaps they increase in elevation (I came from Kansas) has brought about a heightened sense of smell and taste, but nevertheless, this is really good.
on my birthday i bought this bottle along with beam distillers cut 100 proof bottle. shots of both. I'd have to say rittenhouse is better more complex whiskey, but not by a long shot. the beam had an inpenetrable weird shallow woody note like balsa wood. I'll finish it though :) rittenhouse definitely defines peppery. anyway a shot or more of each knocked me on my arse and i have to effing get up and drag myself to the car dealership in the morning.. in conclusion I will be going back to WT101, neither can beat that.
Compared to a typical bourbon, this easy-drinking rye is bold and flavourful. Medium sweet, rich and full-bodied, I find this a good alternative to the rather one-dimensional syrupy or overly-smoky bourbons sold at the same price. Underrated gem, try this now!
Tried to climb on the Bourbon bandwagon, only to learn that I don't care for it much. So, tried ryes, instead: Old Overholdt (ok), Canadian Club 100% Rye (dreck), Bulleit Rye (ok, again). I despaired that I'd again find out that another whiskey was not to my to-be-honest limited palate's liking...then I bought this. This gem, this nectar, this inexpensive workhorse of a libation! It's not flashy or trendy, but it stands up incredibly well neat, or with water, or on (light) rocks or in cocktails. Simply a fantastic bottle of yum.
Fantastic!! Buy it! Drink it neat, you won't regret it!
