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
"This is a big, burly rye on the nose. There's a ton of wood, rye toast, clove, and cinnamon that is at once inviting and intimidating. Diving in, there's a cool blast of mint and eucalyptus which carries those big flavors along to a sweet and long finish. This is a rye lovers rye, which would no doubt overwhelm many cocktails, but work just perfectly in others. "
