Tasting notes
Pennsylvania-style rye whisky with a storied heritage, named for Philadelphia's Rittenhouse Square. Meets all seven requirements of the 1897 Bottled-in-Bond Act: single distillery, single season, aged 4 years, bottled at 100 proof. A bartender's staple for its assertive spice and value. Nose of dried fruits, toffee, and sweet peppers; clean, rich palate of cocoa, citrus, cinnamon, and nutmeg; lingering maple-like spiciness.
