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
"Pumpernickel bread is indeed the dominant element in both the nose and the palate. However, it's well integrated in both instances. On the nose, mixed with notes of coffee, vanilla, and cinnamon. On the palate, it mingles with a medley of sweet and savory spices (almost like a pumpernickel everything bagel) — most notably anise, ginger, cinnamon, clove, dill, sage, nutmeg, black pepper. The finish is rich, roasty, and spicy, with an overall effect that rides the line between sweet and savory, but is quite delicious. "
