Rye questions

What makes a whiskey a rye?
The grain bill. American rye must be at least 51% rye grain, which gives it a drier, spicier, peppery character — where bourbon's 51%-corn minimum makes it sweeter and rounder.
Is rye spicier than bourbon?
Yes, noticeably. Rye brings black pepper, baking spice and a dry finish; bourbon leans vanilla, caramel and sweet oak. Same country, same barrels, different grain.
What cocktails is rye best in?
Rye is the classic base for a Manhattan and a Sazerac, and it makes a drier, spicier Old Fashioned than bourbon. Its spice cuts through sweet vermouth and sugar instead of getting lost.
What's the difference between American rye and Canadian 'rye'?
American rye is legally 51%+ rye grain. Canadian whisky is nicknamed 'rye' for historical reasons but often contains very little actual rye — it's typically lighter and smoother.
