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
"The initial nose is an abrasive assault of alcohol and raw grain, with the signature green wood and raw grain of very young whiskey. A splash of water tames the alcohol and brings out a bit of honey. The taste is grassy and bitter, dominated by wood with hints of mint and mocha struggling to be noticed. "
