Rye
Corsair // Tennessee, USA
The folks at Corsair, Darek Bell and Andrew Webber, are known for having kind of a maverick approach to whiskey, with lots of experimental releases that often stray way outside tradition.
Ryemageddon is their aged rye (though with no statement), using the Wry Moon recipe of malted and chocolate rye as well as red wheat.

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
"Reminds me of Mexican chocolate - rich milk chocolate, spicy cinnamon and clove, a bit of hot pepper. The cereal graininess is very present on the nose and palate, giving it a lot of weight. It's a bit young and brash, but also fun and spicy, like 2nd generation punk rock."
