A Bartender’s Favorite
Rittenhouse Rye remains a favorite behind the bar. Here are a few reasons why bartenders love this Pennsylvania-style classic.
It has an abundance of flavor
The spice of the rye, the subtle sweetness and texture of the corn, and that bit of toast from the barley. It all works together.
It stands up in cocktails
As a Bottled-in-Bond spirit, this 100 proof rye creates a strong flavor foundation that doesn’t get lost when mixed.
It has a rich history
Bartenders love a good story, and Rittenhouse Rye is a heritage brand steeped in American history and whiskey-making lore.
Rye and Bourbon, Compared
Rye Whiskey follows the same distillation process as Bourbon, except it must be made from a
mashbill of at least 51% rye, as opposed to Bourbon’s requirement of at least 51% corn. Less
corn and more rye produces a spirit with a spicier flavor profile.
Rye
Traditionally spicy
Classically used for Manhattans
General characteristics are a prevalent spice and oil that coats the mouth
BOURBON
Traditionally sweet
Classically used for Old Fashioneds
General characteristics are defined by the corn, often sweet and creamy
Make a Manhattan
To try your hand at crafting this spirit-forward cocktail, reach for Rittenhouse. The balance between the rye and
corn in the mashbill brings spice and a touch of sweetness to a Manhattan.
