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
"Ezra Brooks' rye whiskey debuts into an increasingly crowded category, but its flavor profile helps to separate it from the competition. The spiciness of the rye is toned down, shifting the emphasis to sweet notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak. As a straightforward whiskey to sip on the rocks, this one is likely to please. Those seeking a big, spicy rye to punch through cocktails may want to look elsewhere. Nonetheless, it's a welcome addition to the category, and priced well for casual drinking."
