This commemorative release pays tribute to that heritage with Liberty Bell packaging while delivering the bold, spice-forward character that has long defined Rittenhouse rye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProduced under the rigorous standards of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, the whiskey is built on a mashbill of 51% rye, 35% corn, and 14% malted barley. A full decade of maturation across multiple rickhouses and floors, paired with the absence of chill filtration, gives this expression a depth and richness that sets it apart from the core Rittenhouse bottling.
