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
"This is a bit of a wallflower. Toasted rye, dense scent of spices, and naturally some heat. Primary flavor on the palate is uncooked rye grain, dry chocolate, and mild spices on the finish. Simple, inoffensive, and short-lived."
