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
"Considering this rye is the brain child of an Irish immigrant, the taste is very much like that of Irish soda bread - with malted grain flavors, honey, raisins, butter and a pleasant yeasty quality. Robust spice, both sweet and peppery, draw out the finish cleanly."
