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
"Starting with a rich caramelly rye, this whiskey has a lovely sweet, dark char that is contrasted nicely by candied ginger and orange peels. The mouthfeel is slightly oily with delicate sugar. It reminds a bit of sweet granola with toasted pecans, like breakfast. It finishes spicy but well balanced; not too hot and with a dry, creamy finish."
