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
"Sour cherries and green apple lead on the nose, along with vanilla, caramel, and oak. The palate showcases red wine with mulling spices, dark chocolate-covered cherries, butterscotch, and astringent oak. A spicy, moderately lengthy finish offers cinnamon, cloves, dry oak and cedar box, as well as pine needles and black pepper, with a background of semi-sweet Baker's chocolate."
