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 fruity style of rye, with sweet tropical flavors almost akin to juicy fruit flavor gum. It's balanced by the rye trifecta of cinnamon, clove and nutmeg, ending in a vanilla finish. Pleasant to taste a youngish micro distillery rye that doesn't taste too green or hot, but ends smoothly."
