    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.
  • Cask Type
    new, charred American oak

Tasting Notes

"Peppermint and menthol capture your attention upfront on the nose, backed by classic rye spice. The palate then brings semisweet Baker's chocolate to the table, along with tannic oak, pine needles, cinnamon and cloves. The finish is fairly quick, with cedar, black pepper and vanilla, with a closing flourish of Peppermint Patties. "
