Gift
This historic whiskey was once the most popular style of whiskey in the Northeast, especially in Maryland and Pennsylvania. Heaven Hill Distillery continues to make rye whiskey in the same tradition. The distillation process is similar to Bourbon, but the mash must be 51% rye. The sweet, spicy taste and distinctive character of this style of whiskey consistently earns high praise from critics and connoisseurs alike.
RECOMMENDATIONS
If the person you’re buying for is a fan of Rittenhouse rye, why not also consider Weller 12 year old?
