RyeUnlike bourbon, rye whiskey can be made anywhere in the world. But if made in the US, the mash bill recipe must be at least 51% rye and it must be aged in new, charred oak barrels with no age requirement. Elsewhere, the rye whiskey will be made keeping the country of origin's rules regarding the recipe and minimum aging.

Tasting Notes
"Nose shows an herbal, earthy profile along with tangy cherry notes. Toasted oak and maple also appear. As you taste, the flavors move on to cereal grains, crushed fall leaves, and vanilla. All of which intensify with added water. The flavor mimics these notes, with the finish focusing on those herbal, earthy and bittersweet flavors. Cherry is just a hint here."
