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 aroma is a bit dusty and notes of pencil shavings, dried grass, apple skins, and oak are present. It is full of spices, but in a general spice market sense rather than specific spices. The whiskey is fairly tight and lean on the palate and the finish ends with flavors of oak and dried herbs. Overall the whiskey is savory/spicy with little sweetness. From an educational view point, the whiskey is interesting to try, but it might serve better in a blend or with a more diverse mash bill. "
