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
"Salted caramel and dried fruits open this spirit along with secondary whiffs of nuts and rye spice. On the palate, there's a smooth richness and the rye is fantastically integrated revealing baking spices, black pepper, and cloves, among others. There's a faint maraschino note on the long finish. "
