Rye Whiskey

Spicier, drier, and more assertive than bourbon — rye whiskey's peppery backbone makes it the superior choice for stirred cocktails. Where bourbon brings sweetness, rye brings structure. It's the definitive spirit for the Manhattan, the Sazerac, and the Vieux Carré.

Styles & Brands

Straight Rye Whiskey

At least 51% rye grain, aged minimum 2 years in new charred oak. Bold, spicy, and dry — the Manhattan's best friend.

  • Rittenhouse Rye (Bottled in Bond)

    Bold, spicy, and 100 proof — cuts through sweet vermouth and bitters beautifully. The bartender's go-to for Manhattans and Sazeracs.

  • Sazerac Rye

    Herbal and slightly fruity with a dry, peppery finish. Lighter than Rittenhouse — named after the cocktail it was born for.

  • Wild Turkey 101 Rye

    Full-bodied and spicy with caramel and vanilla notes. High proof but approachable — holds its own in any cocktail.
