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
"Aromas of freshly baked, seeded pumpernickel bread spread with fig jam fill the nose. More tangy dried fruit jamminess comes forth on the palate, with a bit of orange zest mixed in. The mid palate takes on savory, herbal notes of caraway and fennel seeds. The finish is sweet, fruity, and toasty, with the overall effect like sipping a fruit cake if it was made with pumpernickel flour. "
