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
"Molasses, cedar, and roasted agave appear first on the nose, followed by rye spice, honey, and mangoes. The palate has a flourish of heat and showcases barrel char, mint, bitter baker's chocolate, tart lingonberries, and green bell pepper. The finish offers an herbal-grassy side with agave syrup and lemongrass, as well as orange zest, and maple. The tequila's impact at times overshadows the whiskey itself."
