Customer Rating

“This bottle makes for an excellent Vieux Carre. It is best priced by MoM. It also works so well in so many other drinks. Problem, usual measure is 60ml not 30 ml. That’s why I ordered 2 bottles, safely and promptly delivered.”

Rittenhouse Straight Rye 100 Proof

A rye whiskey in the Pennsylvania style, this "carries a famous old Philadelphia name". Very tasty and aromatic.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

Dried fruits and soft spices. Cocoa and butterscotch, alongside orange peel, cinnamon and caramel.

Palate

Thick, fruity palate with chocolate oranges, cassia bark, nutmeg and oak.

Finish

Tangy fruit and quite coppery. Marmalade and spice.

Lovely

I bought this as a cocktail ingredient but it's good enough to drink on it's own. A dash of water calms it down and brings out more of the flavour.

hot

I found this hotter than most ryes, maybe just the 50% ABV factor. Perhaps that masked some the rye flavors I was expecting. It's a good rye, but I prefer others to it. Karl

Bourbony rye

Corn syrup and sharp rye. No real complexity there. Lots of flavor, without interplay between them. You can taste corn, you can taste rye. That's it.

Kentuckeys answer to Islay? not quite.........

A great whisky, sweet and spicy on the nose with vinilla, maple syrup, cloves and cinnamon, and in the mouth you get all of those flavours along with hints of green apple and the slightest suggestion of black pepper at the sides of the tongue, if you're not usually a rye whisky drinker (a catagory which I fall into) this is a great place to start, If you like BIG whiskies with demanding, powerful flavours like that of Islay malts, you'll enjoy rye whiskies, Rittenhouse rye 100 proof is a very complex yet not too overwhelming, this is a whisky that less experienced whisky drinkers will enjoy and yet has enough interesting qualities and depth that experienced drinkers will enjoy also, I will most certainly be buying another bottle of this soon and would recommend that malt drinkers should give it a try.

single malt man

Single malts, mostly Islay and Highland, are my usual drams but I have been tempted recently by Buffalo Trace, Woodford Reserve and now Rittenhouse 100%. This Rye whisky is a beauty - sweet on the nose and palate with plenty of vanilla and spice. Sip at full strength for a viscous mouth feel and glowing warmth.
