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
"Rye'd On is a very nicely balanced young rye. It's sweet and spicy up front, with notes of clove, cardamom, vanilla, and orange peel. The peppery taste of rye comes through on the mid-palate, and it finishes with a bit of brown sugar. Even at nearly 100-proof, it's deceptively easy to drink."
