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
"The rye grain is hearty on the nose along with a pleasant green grape aroma, oak, and vanilla. There's a touch of that green/raw grain here as well. As you taste the whiskey you'll find it has a peppery bite, but perhaps is less sweet than the nose proposed. The whiskey is moderately full and robust as well as dry, but not too dry. Add a splash of water to smooth out a few rough edges. The finish of the Sauternes wine is a pleasant one which makes this whiskey a solid nightcap. "
