    Unlike 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

"The aromas and flavors of this whiskey are very much in keeping with its autumnal providence. Aromas of freshly baked cinnamon buns (cinnamon, butter, vanilla, grain bread) as well as molasses, baked apple, ginger and banana waft out of the glass. The palate has a fairly big hit of clove, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice and tastes quite a bit like ginger snap cookies. Along with dried banana, milk chocolate and molasses, some more savory and earthy notes of rosemary and green tea emerge. The finish is spicy, with a good heat, and begging to be added to a mug of hot cider. "
