Rye whiskey has a storied history in North America, dating back to colonial times when settlers introduced rye grain.

Known for its bold and spicy flavor, rye whiskey quickly became a staple in the early United States, particularly in

Pennsylvania and Maryland. By definition, rye whiskey must be made with at least 51% rye grain in its mash bill,

and it is often aged in charred oak barrels. Its robust profile makes it a favorite for classic cocktails such as the

Manhattan and Old Fashioned, and it remains a key player in the resurgence of craft distilling.
