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 barrel proof expression of Rossville Union is wonderfully potent, layering flavors of caramel, cherry, and a hint of licorice atop a savory depth. The finish is long, fading into notes of sweet vanilla. For a barrel proof rye, it's quite enjoyable neat and a good value for the price. "
