About Rittenhouse / Heaven Hill:

Rittenhouse Straight Rye Whiskey, a historic brand launched in 1934 by Philadelphia’s Continental Distilling, named for the city’s famous Rittenhouse Square. Now owned by Heaven Hill Distillery, it’s a popular Bottled-in-Bond rye known for its spicy kick, complex notes of fruit, cocoa, and oak, making it a favorite for classic cocktails like the Manhattan.

Key Aspects:
Origin: Created post-Prohibition in Philadelphia, honoring the area’s namesake, David Rittenhouse, a renowned astronomer.
Style: A traditional Pennsylvania rye, characterized by spice from its rye-heavy mash bill (51% rye) and sweetness from corn and barley.
Bottled-in-Bond: A designation ensuring it’s 100 proof (50% ABV), aged at least four years in a single distillery/season, providing bold flavor for mixing.
Flavor Profile: Offers a rich palate with dried fruit, toffee, cocoa, spices, oak, and a maple finish, perfect for cocktails.
Ownership: The brand was acquired by Heaven Hill Distillery (Kentucky) in 1999, though it maintains its historical Philly roots.
