Description

Rittenhouse Rye 100pf Bottled in Bond, Old Label, Continental Distilling Co. Bardstown

The aroma of apples, orchard-fruit scents here, blending that apple with some orange, a touch of cherry and rounding it out with a bit of caramel. Taking a sip, though, this is a dark and rich flavor profile. Dark chocolate including the little bit of bitterness that comes with that flavor. Coming in from the sides is a bit of that apple and orange flavor that we were promised from the aroma, and as the dark chocolate subsides the flavors resolve into a nice caramel and vanilla profile.

On the finish, you get all of the hallmarks of a good rye whiskey. Theres the black pepper spice that youd expect, as well as a good slice of sourdough rye bread with a little honey on top.
