OT: Rittenhouse

11/19/2021 9:58:19 PM

Totally off topic, but I felt there should be at least one thread about Rittenhouse on the discussions board. Not sure if this is a Front Room thread or perhaps a Political Thread. I know opinions can sometimes get heated.

Overall, I have a favorable opinion. I mean, it's certainly not Sazerac 18 year or even Colonel E.H. Taylor Straight Rye Whiskey. It is not really a great sipping rye. However, in a Manhattan, Old Fashioned, or Sazerac, I think Rittenhouse Bottled in Bond 100 is a solid whiskey. I was a little reluctant to post this in the front room because I expect a lot of blow back from the pretentious bourbon and scotch guys. Anyway, didn't want the day to go by without a new Rittenhouse thread.

You ever have Sudden Wisdom rye? It's not available everywhere, but if it is in your state, you're welcome.

I have not, but I'm always on the look out for a good rye. Thanks.

Holyshit, might be your first post worth reading ever. Maybe there is some hope.

Templeton Rye is pretty good and not super expensive.

If you see Willett Rye pick up a bottle or two, can be a little pricey but worth it.

Based on JustinTolook's suggestion, I just went and bought two bottles. https://tuscl.net/photo.php?id=9341

One to drink, and the other in case it goes viral and in short supply! Lol

30 bucks a bottle. I'm finishing off a bottle of Jameson's right now. If I open the Rittenhouse tonight, I'll let you know if it's any good.

Second thought, I think I'll open it right now to make a proper toast to Kyle. I'll let you know how it is.

Okay, I gotta say the Rittenhouse 100 is damn good. Can't think of a better whiskey at this price (30 bucks). I've always considered Wild Turkey 101 to be a pretty good sippin' whiskey at a very low price point ($23) which is technically bourbon but promoted as "high rye". This one is actually less sweet and more intense.

I'd "almost" (well, not quite) compare it to Booker's bourbon, which is three times the price. This is a rye and has a bit of a sweet aftertaste whereas Booker's just maintains it's flavor long after it's gone down your belly. But if you are a whiskey drinker who want's something cheap to fill in between the high priced stuff, I highly recommend it.

You shouldn't start threads about Rittenhouse without a trigger warning.

Smooth Ambler Old Scout Single Barrel Cask Strength Rye.

That’s a mouthful.

They have a few age statement ones that are so rare I traded for a bottle of Old Rip Van Winkle.
