About this bottle

This 25 year old rye is produced by Heaven Hill as part of their Oldest Rittenhouse Rye series. It is a single barrel rye, which means that there may be some slight variation in the marketplace from bottle to bottle. It was aged in the coolest part of their warehouse to allow the rye to mature consistently. It's one of the oldest, if not THE oldest, ryes in the marketplace.

Jack Rose in DC. I'll never have another whiskey like this. Predictable giant oak notes wash into big spice, vanilla and fig finish. Great.

NOT RITTENHOUSE 25yr. Fight Club Heaven Hill 10yr Rye 130 proof. Phenomenal.
