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
"Most people think of spice when they think of rye, but this one is immediately floral and perfumey, though not in an unpleasant way. I've often wondered what the mist emanating from the wand of the Good Witch Glinda smells like, and this is probably pretty close - honeysuckle (something with poppies?), ginger, cloves, allspice, black pepper and vanilla cake icing. A little sawdusty on the finish, leaving a reminder that this isn't a dream, and we're drinking a whiskey less than a year old."
