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
"There's a prominent aroma filled with notes such as vanilla, menthol, oak shavings, fresh green and dried herbs. The body is on the light side and the whiskey is very spicy and hot (alcohol-wise). Although the flavors are overall pleasant, the heat from the whiskey needs to be tamed a bit. Could be richer and the flavors could be more harmonious. Would pair this with an ale rather than add water to tame the heat. (review from batch 6/aged 8 months)"
