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
"The nose of is somewhat dewy — with sweet herbs such as thyme and dill intertwined with classic cinnamon and nutmeg notes, along with sweet honey. The palate is pleasantly weighty, with rich notes of cocoa, vanilla, and brown rye bread balanced by earthy spices, anise, ripe pears, tart green apples, and subtle green tea-like florals. There's lots going on in this medium finish whiskey, but the flavors are well rounded, and it's very pleasant to sip neat. As a base for a Manhattan, well, better start spreading the news... "
