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
"Waxy honeycomb shows first on the nose, along with cherries, sour plum, toffee, and cloves. The palate is rich, with chocolate chips, barrel char, vanilla Tootsie Rolls, and maple syrup drizzled over warm pancakes. The finish offers more syrupy sweetness, along with dark brown sugar, tannic oak, white pepper, and rye spice."
