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
"Nose is filled with dried herbs, rye spice, and oak. This woody note continues on the palate adding some warmth from the heat along with dried cherries and cigar tobacco. Quite the oily mouthfeel here. Finish continues with char spice and more dried fruits coming through."
