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
"Spearmint pops on the nose, along with vanilla and rye spice, as well as candied citrus peel and light floral notes. The palate starts hot, with astringent, tannic oak, fiery cinnamon, cedar wood, and leather. Towards the back it's rounded out with vanillins, orange zest, and baking spices. The finish is dry and spicy with bitter coffee grounds, brown sugar, and an herbal kick with bell pepper and dill."
