Rittenhouse K&L Exclusive Single Barrel Rye Whiskey

Rittenhouse releases an exclusive single barrel rye whiskey bottled for K&L Wine Merchants. This 7-year-old bottled-in-bond Kentucky rye hails from rickhouse 1K at Heaven Hill, barrelled in December 2018. With three additional years of aging compared to the standard offering, this release delivers significantly greater depth and complexity than the classic Rittenhouse profile.

Bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV), the whiskey showcases Rittenhouse's signature 51/35/14 mash bill—a balanced blend that delivers both spice and sweetness, making it ideal for cocktails and neat sipping alike. The nose reveals maple spice, nutmeg, and dried berries, while the palate presents ginger, anise, dark berry jam, and oak tannin with a long, woodsy finish.

This release exemplifies why Rittenhouse remains one of the market's best-valued rye whiskeys. With extended barrel age and an accessible price point of $34.99, it's an excellent choice for cocktail enthusiasts and collectors seeking greater flavor complexity without premium pricing. A single barrel that delivers genuine value and character.
