Guest Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I have seen a few bottles of the Rittenhouse stranded on a few shelves today that have this slightly older label. I saw that it was Diistilled at DSP KY 1, and Bottled at DSP KY 31... So I understand this is not the rye made post-fire at DSP KY 354. But I wonder if anyone who is a regular drinker of Rittenhouse would hazard an opinion on whether the juice in these slightly older bottles is different from the ones we see regularly on the shelves today. Thanks for any info or opinions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amg Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I haven't detected any noticeable shift since they changed the label. That bottle's only maybe 3 or 4 years old after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dusty Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I have had both the old label and new label DSP-1. I can't tell a difference. Same distillery and same mashbill. There may be very slight variations year to year but it's a large batched product so those differences should be minimal. Ritt at $20 or less is a workhorse for cocktails. One of my favorites. But the difference for me is that I don't like the DSP-1 neat like I did the DSP-354. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Thanks to all for the replies -- most appreciated. Will let the "not that old" bottles remain where they are, and keep my eyes open for the 354. Not expecting to find any, but you never know... s.l.

PaulO Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 If you check out the rye section of this site, there was a thread on all this. This is just my impression, but the DSP 1 Ritt BIB seemed a bit better after they went to the new label. You may find some DSP 354. It's good; has a bit of that Old Forester house style. Really, old or new label - they're all pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
