Rye Whiskey: Questions & Answers
What is rye whiskey?
American rye whiskey is made from a mash of at least 51% rye grain and aged in new charred oak containers. It tends to taste spicier and drier than bourbon.
Is rye whiskey good for cocktails?
Yes. Rye is the classic base for a Manhattan and a Sazerac, and many bartenders prefer it in an Old Fashioned for its spicier edge.
What is the difference between rye and bourbon?
Bourbon must be at least 51% corn, which makes it sweeter. Rye must be at least 51% rye, which gives it a peppery, spicy character. Both follow the same aging and proof rules in the United States.
