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
"If I could use one word to describe this, it would be "burly." Seriously, sipping it, I can picture a lumberjack with a flask just before single-handedly lifting a giant tree limb. Huge flavors of caramel, spice (both hot and sweet), vanilla and pipe tobacco. The only thing subtle is a grassy note at the end. For those who are into a very big, classic, hot rye, this is for you. Definitely add water or ice to this. You are a wuss NOT to."
