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 opens up with candied orange, followed by mint, cloves and leather. The palate showcases vanilla and menthol alongside sour cherries, black pepper, pinewood and tannic oak. The finish is short but warming, with gingersnap cookies and an almost Old Fashioned-like quality combining the whiskey with citrus and herbal notes."
