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
"Aromatically the whiskey shows lots of toasty oak notes, dried herbs, raw apples, sweet tobacco and mint. As you taste, it's medium light in body and more of those tobacco/raisin notes show up along with more mint. There's also a touch of vanilla and char smoke there on the finish, but those flavors are light. It's nice to experience the rye flavors without the whiskey being overly sweet. The finish is a little hot and dry and while it's on the young side, it is still worth picking up. "
