Rittenhouse 21yr or Black Maple Hill 23yr?

[tritioch]

I've been getting into rye pretty heavily recently, however the funds are limited. I saw the other day on the shelf Black Maple Hill 23yr Rye and Rittenhouse 21yr for about the same price. I have not had either one of them before, any recomendations for which one to pick up??

I don't have a great basis for making a recommendation, but here's what I know. I have not had the BMH. I have had the Rittenhouse. I like the Rittenhouse very much. I know people who don't. Aside from that, I would choose the Rittenshouse over the BMH just because I prefer distiller products to independent bottler products, because we know exactly who made the Rittenhouse and we don't know who made the BMH.

Thanks for the help. Went back but the Rittenhouse 21 was gone. Picked a 100p BIB Rittenhouse though, not bad for $15.
