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
"On the nose, find the type of spicy profile which serves as a dead giveaway of a rye whiskey. There's also wood, grain, and pepper. The palate offers more rye spice, a touch of fruit in the background, and a light caramel, with rounded, smooth flavors. The rye spice and oak close out the finish for a smooth sipper and well-aged entrant to the burgeoning rye marketplace. "
