FEW // Illinois, USA
The mash bill used here is 70% rye, 20% corn, and 10% malted barley, all sourced from within 100 miles of Evanston, Illinois, where the distillery is located. Evanston was a dry county well past the end of Prohibition and alcohol wasn't allowed until 1972 when restaurants and hotels could finally sell liquor.

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
"Much like the bourbon, Indian spices come to mind, but more of an herbal rather than a sweet profile is found here. Perhaps due to the wine yeast from the Loire Valley in France used in the fermentation is why fruity esters are found here such as pear and peach. As you taste, there is spice throughout with barrel tannins drying your palate. "
