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
"This rye veers toward the savory spectrum, with a nose of pinecone, green pepper, sage, tarragon and cinnamon. The palate is akin to an herb-infused matcha tea, with fennel and spring herbs. A cereal sweetness ties it together, leading into the rich, earthy finish. "
