rye whiskey
Definition:
Though wheat and barley are often used in the mash, law requires that this American whiskey be made with a minimum of 51 percent rye. Rye has a flavor that is similar to a smooth, rich bourbon. Straight ryes are those from a single distiller, while blended ryes are a combination of several straight ryes. See also liquor.
