    Unlike 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

"Basil Hayden Two by Two Rye is a soft and sweet addition to the category. Rye spice just peeks out from the more dominant notes of vanilla and oak, backed with subtle hints of pear, chestnut, and cocoa. It's nice but one wonders if this whiskey might stand out more at a higher proof; at 40 percent ABV it's an approachable introduction to the spirit, but may leave seasoned rye lovers wanting a little more oomph."
