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 nose brings together an interesting mix of lemon and tomato leaf that form a somewhat soapy aroma. That palate is light with vanilla and bread notes up front. Some pepper notes perk up right near the finish."
