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
"Although the assemblage of whiskey here is rather exotic, the nose shows classic high-tone notes of orange, grapefruit peel, and cracked, pink peppercorn that is juxtaposed by a weighty impression of vanilla cream and toasted oak. The palate is fairly light for a whiskey from this label, but the older spirits in the blend bring an admirable sweetness and a roundness that leads to a finish that lingers with honeycomb and slight hint of spice."
