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
"At this proof, the rye is a little prickly on the nose, but you still pick up the char notes along with some caramel and vanilla. There's a little something like twine and Sharpie marker aromas as well. The body is on the medium-light side, and it's warm on your palate at this proof. It's a little hollow in the middle but still shows its classic cherry fruit. Finish is bittersweet. Best served in a cocktail."
