Rittenhouse 250th Anniversary Commemorative 10 Year Straight Rye Whiskey

This is a 10-year-old Bottled-in-Bond straight rye from Heaven Hill Distillery, drawn from just 90 selected barrels aged across multiple rickhouses and floors and released to mark 250 years of American independence. It keeps the bold, spicy Monongahela-style character that made Rittenhouse a bartender's benchmark, then adds what a full decade in charred oak brings: rich caramel, dried and stewed dark fruit, seasoned oak, and peppery rye spice carried on a long, warming finish. At 100 proof and non-chill filtered, it has real weight on the palate without losing its balance. Collectors will want it for the Liberty Bell packaging and the 1776–2026 commemorative story, since this release will not be repeated. Drinkers who already know classic Rittenhouse will find it a revealing study in what extra time does to Heaven Hill's mash bill of 51% rye, 35% corn, and 14% malted barley. We carry it because it takes a bartender's staple and turns it into a deeper, more contemplative pour that earns its place both on the shelf and in the glass.
