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
"A bold, spicy rye that’s very weighty on the tongue. Dry, cereal grain flavors (think Kashi) with warm, toasty flavors and an odd buttery note. It does ends a bit astringent. "
