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
"Wintergreen leads on the nose, along with clover honey, rye spice, and tannic oak. The palate is rich, with burnt caramel, poached pears in syrup, and buttery pie crust, also offering cloves and resinous pine sap. The finish showcases golden raisins, molasses, peanut butter cookies, coffee grounds, and black pepper. "
