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 whiskey from KROBĀR has the spice one desires in a cask strength rye, but it's also very nicely balanced. The palate brings out notes of vanilla, banana, cinnamon, and leather, leading to a warming finish with a bit of white pepper and fresh cut wood. This is craft whiskey done right, and it's a bold rye that's worth picking up."
