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
"Dark chocolate is showcased on the nose, with apricots, raspberries, and syrupy trail mix. The palate is rich, with chocolate and spearmint to the tune of thin mint cookies, as well as salted chocolate truffles, cedar box, and baking spices. The finish continues hitting on rich sweetness highlighted by dark chocolate."
