Woodford Reserve Master's Collection New Cask Rye
Rye
Woodford Reserve // Kentucky, USA
Released in 2011, its packaging came as a set that included this New Cask Rye along with an Aged Cask Rye in 375ml bottles. Both expressions are based on the same (and unusual) 100% rye recipe, but as the name implies, this one has been aged in a "new cask" (ie, new, charred American oak barrels).
It's bottled at 46.2% ABV.

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.
