Rittenhouse is Changing Its Label

I think Mitch meant WT101, which is inded $40/liter at Astor. Rittenhouse is $25 for the 750.

$40 for WT101 rye? That's crazy. It sells for around $25 here but it's hard to find.

Correct.  I should just stick with my jugs of Pikesville - $17.99 for 1.75L!

That must be $25 for a 750 of the old make. The new release is in 1L bottles...so, you'd pay $34, assuming they price it at a similar rate. Then, factor in the NYC markup and $40 sounds about right.

As I said, $30ish for 1L of the new make 101 rye.

 

Mitch, where are you getting 1.75s of Pikesville?

If you see the original WT101 in 750's at $25 and you like rye I would encourage you to buy! I find the older bottle to be better. Not a huge difference perhaps and especially if you primarily mix with it but to my palate at least it was better even in a blind SBS.

On my drives to and from DC, I sometimes stop at State Line Liquors, exit 109B - the first one when heading south on I-95, in Maryland.

 

That's the first place I ever saw Pikesville.  It's the kind of a place where old geezers stop in and buy jugs of the cheap (and sometimes good) stuff...Old Fitzgerald, Evan Williams, etc. all at rock bottom prices.

Ahhhhh, a bit far for me, sadly
