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
"The nose is an explosion of sharp baking spices (clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger powder, allspice) with a bit of grapefruit and orange peel. No one expects this to be a shy whisky, but it really comes on strong on the palate with a surprising, tart burst of dried apricot and mango, hot cinnamon, honeysuckle florals, roasted barley green tea, and underlying bitterness of walnut and lots of oak. Overall, it's a strong, delightful-to-sip barrel selection, if ever so slightly too oaky and hot in the finish. "
