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 offers cherry cola, spearmint, crisp red apples and orchard fruits, rye spice, and vanilla taffy. The palate is big and bold, with a sweeping sherry influence including honey, walnuts, and plums. The malted grain then makes its presence felt in the form of dark chocolates. The finish is rich and lengthy, with cocoa powder, raspberry syrup, baking spices, and barrel char."
