Rye is a distinct style of whiskey that is primarily made from rye grain, with a minimum of 51% rye in its mash bill, along with water and yeast. This spirit is known for its unique flavor profile, characterized by spicy and peppery notes complemented by hints of caramel, vanilla, and sometimes fruit. Rye whiskey typically undergoes distillation using either pot still or column still methods and must be aged in new charred oak barrels for at least two years to be classified as straight rye.
The texture of rye whiskey ranges from medium to full-bodied, offering a smooth mouthfeel that can occasionally feel slightly oily. Its complex aroma includes herbal undertones and can finish dry, making it a versatile choice for classic cocktails such as the Manhattan, Old Fashioned, and Sazerac. Originating mainly from the United States—particularly Kentucky and Pennsylvania—rye is also produced in Canada and some European countries like Germany. Its rich flavor profile makes it an essential ingredient in both traditional and modern cocktail recipes.
