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
"Cloves lead off on a spicy nose, along with orange peel, vanilla pudding, and Maraschino cherries. The palate showcases leather and tannic oak, along with cedar chips, incense, mint, and burnt toast. The finish follows along a similar track, with coffee grounds, menthol, and chocolate-covered salted pretzels. "
