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
"This young firecracker of a rye starts out with a note of raw sawdust, indicating relatively short aging time, and apple smoke. The youth makes itself even more apparent in the palate, with raw wood and hot alcoholic notes. Instead of apple, the cherry makes itself known on the mid-palate, along with the malty sweetness. The biscuity malt fades to the back on the finish, but leaves a bit of an unpleasant bitterness at the very end. Copper Fox Original Rye Whiskey has good bones to it, but needs more time in the barrel."
