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 nose offers fruit jelly-filled truffles, along with spicy rye, oak, and an herbal bouquet of tarragon, dill, and mint. The palate showcases deep roasted espresso beans, bitter lemon pith, and dark chocolate syrup. On a short but spicy and peppery finish, find anise, peanut shells, barrel char, and a floral, grassy meadow quality."
