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
"Bet you're wondering, "Are you gonna cry for your momma", or "are you gonna have a good time" when you sip this rye? There's no question it's a youngin'. However, the finish gives it some interest. It tastes very much like a liquid version of whole grain biscuits dipped in port wine, with a chocolatey figgy note. With such sweet, rich flavors, you might want a rock (fine, a Ragna-rock) to sip with. "
