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 rye smells like a pot of spiced, savory blueberry chutney, particularly heavy on the clove, nutmeg, and thyme. The palate takes on a more herbal quality, with a mix of oregano, dill, Italian parsley, and mint—like a fresh version of Italian herb mix with added fennel seed. Tart plum and cherries give this lively, spicy sipper additional lift, with a fruity black tea finish. "
