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 is classically rye-ish, with notes of baking rye bread, thyme, oregano, fresh green apple, and quince. The palate is spicier, taking on clove and cinnamon, which mixes with more green herbs, cereal notes, and toasted oak. The finish has a subtle honey sweetness mixed with a balanced spiciness. "
