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
"On the nose, smells exactly like Whoppers candy or Ovaltine (malted milk chocolate.) On the palate, it's surprisingly fruity, with flavors or bananas, red apples and persimmon. Cola spices with some black pepper and a pinch of salt round out the finish. The end result tastes very much like a spicy, salted dark chocolate caramel!"
