1706 Rittenhouse Square

Filed under: Estates

A few weeks ago I mentioned the rise in luxury condominiums in Philadelphia. One of the most lavish is 1706 Rittenhouse Square. This new 32-story glass tower has 29 full floor units, wide open apartments with floor to ceiling windows, 10 ft. ceilings and two terraces for each unit. Each unit has over 4100 square feet of customizable space. Amenities include a fitness center with sauna, massage rooms, endless pool, private boardroom and garden. The unit price also includes an onsite parking space in the fully automated underground garage that will store cars underground on a rock system, and retrieve cars by swiping a card reader in the passenger elevator. Unit prices vary based on floor level with unit #2901 listed at $6,849,085 while unit #4 is listed at $4,180,850.

Rittenhouse To Debut Pricey New Whisky

We already knew that Heaven Hill Distilleries makes good and cheap rye whisky, now they are moving up into a higher market. The Courier-Journal reports that the 750-milliliter bottle of Rittenhouse Very Rare 21-Year-Old Single Barrel Straight Rye Whisky is a 100-proof whisky that cost around $150 at retail outlets. The Bardstown company is shipping 32 barrels, or about 3,000 bottles. It's a bold move since American whiskies traditionally linger on the low end of the price spectrum.

Rittenhouse Rye Whisky Is The North American Whisky Of The Year

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Spirits

Rittenhouse? Really? Heaven Hill Distilleries' Rittenhouse Bottled-In-Bond Rye Whisky was another winner at the 2006 San Francisco World Spirits Competition being voted "North American Whiskey of the Year." Rittenhouse was unanimously awarded the gold medal by all judges in a blind tasting. Rye whisky doesn't receive a lot of love these days and Rittenhouse is not a new or expensive whisky. In fact, it sells for around $15. The inexpensive whisky was also named "Whiskey of the Year" for 2005 by Wine & Spirits Magazine. More proof that it doesn't always have to be pricey to be good.
