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 exhibits an elegant mix of ginger, fennel, clove, and charred oak aromatics with a hint of fresh apricot. That fruit also comes into play on the palate, adding a tangy base to sweet and spicy flavors. A delightful element of caramel popcorn—particularly the prized, slightly charred, semi-popped kernel—adds extra dimension and contributes to a rich, layered, and toasty finish. "
