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
"Bright spearmint opens on the nose, along with rye spice, cedar wood, vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a touch of licorice. The palate booms its way open with big rye spice, nutmeg and cloves, astringent oak, and burnt toast. A long-lasting finish then takes a surprisingly sweet and rich turn, with resonating vanilla toffee and crème brûlée, backed by pepper, oak, and spice, elevating this dram from a good whiskey to an irresistible one."
