The Whisky Rittenhouse Straight Rye of Heaven Hill Distilleries represents a perfect expression of the distinctive mark of American rye, with deep roots in Kentucky tradition. Made predominantly with rye, a cereal grain that gives vigor and character, this whisky is carefully distilled and aged using classic methods that enhance its complexity without losing freshness and intensity. Its aging in new, charred American oak barrels gives this rye a rich and bold aromatic profile.
On the nose, it opens with spicy notes of black pepper and cinnamon, accompanied by hints of vanilla and herbal scents. The palate reveals a solid structure, with layers of caramel, stone fruit, and a pleasant slightly smoky persistence, typical of superior quality rye whiskies. Overall, the Rittenhouse Straight Rye stands out for a balance between robustness and finesse, able to satisfy those who appreciate a spirit with historical roots but surprisingly versatile.
It is magnificent to be enjoyed neat, with a few drops of water, or as a premium base for classic cocktails such as the Manhattan or the Old Fashioned, enhancing its spicy notes and aromatic depth.
