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
"A fruity, herbal nose reveals aromas of spearmint, freshly mowed lawn, fennel bulbs, green apple, and cinnamon. The palate is on the light side, almost like bottled apple juice (not cider) that's been infused with baking spices and spring herbs with hints of cocoa and hoppy florals. Mintiness dominates the midpalate and carries the juicy finish with subtle hits of spice and a honeyed sweetness. "
