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
"Buttery, whole grain banana bread with caramel frosting and a generous sprinkle of baking spices hit the nose. Tart fruit flavors of raspberry and apricot take hold on the palate, with some root beer-like spices (sarsaparilla, vanilla, birch beer), grassy herbs, hoppy florals, and buttery rye flour biscuits adding to the flavor mix. A balanced tartness hits the palate, but the finish is still quite big, rich, toasty, and spicy. "
