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 is an exceptionally spicy rye that hits all the essential elements of a spice rack - sweet spices (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, allspice), aromatic spice (cedar, coriander, cardamom), hot spice (black pepper). It would veer into hippy patchouli territory if it weren't for the saving grace of red apples, vanilla, bittersweet chocolate and cereal notes to keep it balanced. Really pleasant, long finish without much of a burn. Rye lovers will definitely dig this and novices could taste this as a worthy primer for the category."
