RITTENHOUSE RYE WHISKY

Country: USA, Although historically a Pennsylvania-style rye, it is currently produced at the Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky. 
Alcohol Volume: 50% ABV (100 Proof).
Sugar Content: Virtually 0 g/L. Like most straight distilled spirits, it contains no carbohydrates or added sugars.
Pairing Recommendations:
Rittenhouse's bold spice and high proof allow it to stand up to rich and savory flavors: 
Savory & Meats: Pairs excellently with grilled ribeye steak or lamb seasoned with rosemary and garlic. The fat in the meat softens the whiskey's heat while the rye spice highlights charred crusts.
Cheeses: Best matched with sharp or aged cheeses like aged Gouda, sharp cheddar, or blue cheese.
Sweets: Its spicy notes are complemented by dark chocolate, gingerbread, or pecan pie. Milk chocolate with a touch of chili also provides a harmonious balance. 
Mixing Recommendations:
Bartenders consider Rittenhouse a "gold standard" workhorse rye because its 100-proof "backbone" prevents it from getting lost in cocktails. 
Classic Manhattan: Its balance of spice and corn sweetness makes it a premier choice for this drink.
Sazerac: Its high proof and peppery notes provide the necessary "kick" for this New Orleans classic.
Old Fashioned: Recommended for a "Rye Old Fashioned" to add notes of dark chocolate and baking spice.
Modern Riffs: Excellent in complex cocktails like the Vieux Carré, Boulevardier, or Paper Plane.
