  • Ralfy, do you have any idea why rye whiskys are not produced so widely like barley or corn whiskys? Is this Rittenhouse made of malted rye or just rye? I wonder if there is any difference between malted rye spirit and grain rye spirit? Just like the difference between scotch malts and blended scotches.

  • @11lightyear

    not sure about the malted bit, e-mail the producers ! . . . availability is all down to perceived demand for the stuff.

  • Do you use Rittenhouse as your standard to compare other ryes to like you do with Elijah Craig and bourbon?

  • @degmar

    ... at the moment, yes, but I suspect WhistlePig Rye will be my 'benchmark' shortly !

  • how cutty sark

  • quite and adventure whisky is, im drinking a very cheap candian whisky called potters crown. interesting taste for 7 dollars

  • @barkingspider403

    Wonder if Wild Turkey is having the same issues since I haven't seen a bottle of their rye on the shelves in a long while? Looks like the big producers are still trying to keep up.

  • @shuboy05 It's so funny to receive this reply tonight! I've had a case of this stuff on order from Idrinkny.com since September, and today I received a message that it had finally been shipped. I suspect that the problem is the same--undersupply followed by a drought. I probably should have tried to get two cases! Anyway, I'll be going through Redwood City late December. Maybe I'll give them a call.

  • @79barkingspider

    I FINALLY saw a few bottles at my go-to store (K&L Wines in Redwood City, California) and it's the end of 2011. They even told me their stock probably wouldn't last till the new year. Of all the ryes on the market, Rittenhouse certainly seems the most popular.
