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
"Nutty and rich cocoa aromas waft out of the glass with an integrated note of freshly cut grass and spring herbs. The palate is robust and earthy, though there is a fruity sweet tea-like quality to the flavor profile. A distinctly Peach Snapple flavor carries the spiciness into the finish. "
