Rye

American Rye Whiskies are the cornerstone of the some of the world's most famous cocktails. The Manhattan, the Old-Fashioned and the Sazerac all rely on this bold, spicy spirit, which is legally defined as using at least 51% rye in the mash (the mixture of grains used to make the distillate). Once it pours off the still, the spirit is aged for a minimum of two years in freshly charred, new oak barrels before it can be bottled and labelled as 'Straight Rye'.
