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 hits all the classic rye notes, with a tangy kick. Sweet herbal aromatics of dill, thyme, and oregano along with green apple and baking spices hit the nose. The palate is vibrant and zesty, with flavors of tart apple, clove, black pepper, and cinnamon, though less herbal on the tongue than the nose. The finish has a clean spark of heat, with a lingering honeyed sweetness mixing with the citric tang and spice. "
