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
"Honey roasted peanuts arise on the nose, along with graham crackers, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. The palate showcases more oomph from the rye, with spicy grain, tannic oak, and menthol, followed by crispy dark chocolate brownies, and a light touch of licorice. The finish offers peppermint, barrel char, and caramel drizzled atop spiced Christmas cake. A balanced rye that already shows well and is promising for the years ahead."
