About the Whisky: Batch B522
Named after the father of Bourbon Rev. Elijah Craig this limited release Small Batch, twelve-year-old Bourbon is bottled at Barrel Proof and without chill filtering, preserving the natural flavors produced during the aging process. At full Barrel Proof, you can enjoy the Bourbon much the same way our Master Distiller does when he samples straight from the barrel or, if you choose, add water to reduce the proof to your liking.

Notes from the Maker:
Rittenhouse is produced in the tradition of the classic rye whiskeys that were once the preeminent American whiskey style, kept alive through the lean years by Heaven Hill and two other distilleries.
An excellent rye whiskey at a competitive price, Rittenhouse Bottled-In-Bond won the coveted “The World’s Best North American Whiskey” in Whisky Magazine’s World Whiskey Awards. The venerable American Whiskey was also named “Top North American Whiskey” at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

"Pepper, cinnamon, vanilla, chocolate, coffee, honeycomb, spice and oak characteristics on the nose and palate with a great mouthfeel and sweetness ending in a spicy finish."
93 Points, Great Value - Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2023
"This bottled-in-bond rye displays complex aromas of clover honey, fresh maple, and carraway. Seductive on the palate, it coats the mid and upper palates with bready notes that give way to orchard fruit and baking spices that linger on for a long finish."
Platinum - Ascot Awards 2022
“Well balanced with a buttery mouthfeel and flavors of toffee, black pepper, and a nice dose of fruit.”
Double Gold - SIP Awards 2021
95 Points, Best Buy - Wine Enthusiast
"A versatile must-have for mixing cocktails, look for pleasing vanilla, maple and a hint of dried cherry. The finish is long and drying, with plenty of baking spice notes."
