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
"The proof is in the driver’s seat the whole way. A dry and spicy aroma that will singe your nostrils. The palate initially tastes of grain and thinned butter. Then bold spice takes over and lights up your tongue for a hot finish. Add some water and you’ll get a little more butter added to the equation."
