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
"The nose opens up with black licorice, along with cedar chips, menthol, and a bit of a green oak characteristic. The palate is at first balanced between rich caramel-laden sweetness and spicy rye characteristics, along with baked apple pie with a buttery crust. Towards the back though the whiskey shows its heat and becomes drier, with leather, char, and tannins, as well as closing notes of vanilla, cinnamon and spearmint. "
