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 an earthy, hot-spiced rye covered in tart berry fruit. The spice is an indicator of both the rye-ness of it, but also what must be its considerable youth. Might not be so bad in a Manhattan, though."
