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 aroma is a mix of toasted, buttered banana bread, apple skins and light charred oak. Allowing the whiskey to sit in your glass awhile intensifies the vanilla confectionary aroma. Moving on to the taste, the body is medium-light and there are flavors of pencil lead and hearty rye at the base of the dram. Despite the proof, it is pleasant to drink on its own — it's a little peppery on the tongue, but the taste leans into the fruity and sweet flavors allowing for a bittersweet finish. Adding water mellows the heat down a bit, but doesn't much change the flavor or body. (sample proof 137.3)"
