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
"Vanilla extract and caramel-covered salted pretzels lead on the nose, along with brandied cherries and cloves. The palate is rich and chewy, with thick cut rye bread, chocolate chips, spearmint, blackberries, orange peel, and kola nut. A moderate finish offers honey roasted peanuts, tannic oak, dill, cinnamon, and sarsaparilla."
