Questions
Rye Whiskey questions, answered
How is rye whiskey different from bourbon?
Rye whiskey uses at least 51% rye in its grain mix, while bourbon uses at least 51% corn. Rye tends to taste spicier and drier; bourbon tends to be sweeter and rounder.
What is cask strength rye?
Cask strength means the whiskey is bottled at or close to the proof it came out of the barrel, without much water added. It is more intense and many drinkers add a splash of water themselves.
