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
"Jack Daniel's foray into a Tennessee-style rye -- mellowed through charcoal prior to barreling -- produces an enjoyably interesting addition to the rye category. It's lightly spicy with well-balanced notes of vanilla, oak, and a hint of smoke. Bottling at 90-proof is a good decision, ensuring that the whiskey retains its character. Perhaps a bit light to stand up in cocktails, it's probably best sipped neat or over a cube or two of ice."
