Philadelphia Rye
A blended rye built for the everyday pour, priced to match.
The story behind Philadelphia
Philadelphia is a blended American rye whiskey, which in practice means rye grain leads the mash bill with corn and barley filling out the rest. Rye brings the spice: black pepper, caraway, a dry crackle on the finish. The blend softens that edge into something you can pour without ceremony, and that is the whole point of a bottle like this.
We have carried the Philadelphia label on our rye shelf for years because it does the unglamorous work well. It is honest blended whiskey at a working price, sold in three sizes so you can try it small or stock the bar. We will not tell you a story about its distillery we cannot back up. We will tell you what it tastes like and what it costs.

Which Philadelphia is right for you?
Pricing here is simple and it is the reason this bottle moves. The 375mL is $5.99, the 1L is $9.99, and the 1.75L handle is $17.99. That puts Philadelphia American Blend in the value tier of our rye shelf, well under the single barrel and bonded ryes, and it makes the large format an easy call for anyone mixing Manhattans or highballs at home.
