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
"Rose-gold in color with a bouquet full of tart green apple, caramel, and honey. Essences of creme brûlée and warm vanilla sugar begin the initial palate before a tingly rye spice takes over for the remainder. The finish is full of caramel sweetness. Overall, very sweet for a rye. "
