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
"Red berries and plums lead the nose, followed by dry oak and spice underneath, with soft touches of cinnamon and black pepper. The palate is smooth and sweet, with more berries, honey, and vanilla, as well as dry oak and cedar, and tart cherries. Enjoy a smooth finish with caramelized bananas, brown sugar and molasses, with lighter medicinal and herbal notes, and spearmint. Add ice for a chewier, richer profile."
