Rye whiskey

Rye whiskey is a type of whiskey that is made primarily from rye grain. It is a popular spirit in North America, particularly in the United States and Canada.

History

Rye whiskey has a long history in both the United States and Canada. In the United States, it was one of the first distilled spirits to be produced, with production dating back to the early colonial period. In Canada, rye whiskey became popular in the 19th century and remains a staple of Canadian distilling today.

Production

Rye whiskey is made by fermenting a mash of at least 51% rye grain. The mash is then distilled and aged in charred oak barrels. The aging process can vary, but it typically lasts for at least two years. The result is a whiskey with a distinctive spicy and fruity flavor.

Types

There are two main types of rye whiskey: American rye whiskey and Canadian rye whiskey. American rye whiskey must be made from a mash of at least 51% rye grain, aged in new charred oak barrels, and distilled to no more than 160 proof. Canadian rye whiskey, on the other hand, does not have a minimum rye grain requirement and can be aged in used barrels.
