Rittenhouse Rye 750ml Bottle

Poured this into a Sazerac and it brought just the right balance of spice and smoothness. For the price, it’s hard to beat as a mixing rye that doesn’t get lost in the cocktail.

I cracked this open for an Old Fashioned and it mixed beautifully—smooth enough to sip straight, too. The bottle’s a solid 750ml and it’s become my default for any whiskey cocktail night.

For the price, this bottle punches way above its weight—it’s smooth enough to sip neat but holds its own in a Manhattan without getting lost. I’ve used it for three different cocktails this week and every one came out balanced. It’s become my go-to rye for mixing, hands down.
