S2E16 - Bottled In Brawl: Rittenhouse Rye Single Barrel Showdown

Описание: Christmas is in the rearview and the guys are kicking off the new year with a Rittenhouse Rye single barrel showdown. Adam, Paul, and Jerry compare two private picks side-by-side, chase citrus and spice notes, and find out how much a few years and a different rickhouse can change a Bottled-in-Bond rye.

Along the way they:
Warm up with pours from Green River 250th U.S. Army Bourbon, Old Forester Rye, and Riverset Rye
Put two Rittenhouse Rye single barrels head to head – Paul’s store pick vs Jerry’s club pick
Talk lemon, stone fruit, rye spice, oak, and why one pick leans more “bourbon-y” than the other
Try pairing them with cigars… and discover some combos just don’t work
Close with a “This Pours On Me” round featuring:
Willett Family Estate 4 Year Rye
V5 Bourbon from Smoky Quartz (veteran-owned)
Dark Arts Rye finished in American single malt barrels
Swaps stories about small KY distilleries, bourbon trips, and supporting veterans & anti-trafficking charities.

Grab a rye you love, light up a cigar if that’s your thing, and drink along with us.
