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
"Fortunato's Fate strikes a curious balance between new American craft whiskeys and the rich sherry finishes popular in scotch. The maltiness of the rye comes through, along with spice and notes of dark chocolate. Notes of fresh-cut wood appear on the palate, leading into a richer finish of figs and vanilla. Though it still has the character of a young whiskey, the richness imparted by the sherry barrels sets it apart from others in the category."
