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
"For rye fans, this is a really fun sipper. The grassy, green tea flavors of their rye are well tempered with the grapiness of the brandy. It still runs a bit hot, but there's lots to chew on between the warm spicy notes, the bran flakes cereal element and the toffee richness. Add a big cube for best enjoyment. "
