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 a whiskey for the fans of the dark and brooding styles of rye. The nose is compact and nervy with a dominant black tea aroma accompanied by molasses and burnt crust. The flavors are fairly even between the maple influence and the classic rye pepper notes. Seems to call out for a Manhattan."
