Rye is the English word for rye, a cereal grain in the wheat and barley family that is used to make bread, cookies, and, most notably, premium spirits.
In the world of spirits, when someone orders a "Rye," they are specifically referring to Rye Whiskey, a traditional North American spirit that has its own set of rules:
What makes Rye Whiskey special?
- The 51% Rule: To legitimately be called Rye Whiskey in the United States, the law requires that the mixture of distilled grains (called the mash bill) contain at least 51% rye. The rest is usually corn and malted barley.
- The Flavor Profile: Unlike Bourbon (which is sweet because it is made primarily with corn), rye provides a distinctly spicy, dry, and peppery profile. It usually has notes reminiscent of black pepper, cloves, cinnamon, mint, and baked bread.
- Aging: Like Bourbon, it must be aged in new American white oak barrels that have been previously charred or toasted on the inside
