Rye Whiskies have become scarce and
little-known, but in recent years have been experiencing a comeback.
Rye is a cousin of
bourbon,
but it has a different mash bill (mix of grains), having over 51% rye
(go figure!), the rest being a blend of corn, wheat and barley.
Rye tends to be drier and more bitter than bourbon. It makes a great Manhattan, and is absolutely essential for a real Old-Fashioned. |
A Special Note about Old Potrero: So the guy at Anchor Steam (the venerable San Francisco Brewer), Fritz Maytag, decided to make some whiskey the REAL old fashioned American way, before bourbon was even invented. It is 100% rye based, and is aged in uncharred new American oak casks. This may seem technical (or even trivial), but it is REALLY good, expensive, and interesting. And we have it! |
