More About Rye Whiskey
Rye whiskey has a long history in American distilling, known for its bold, spicy character and grain - forward complexity. Aged in oak barrels, rye whiskey develops warm flavors of caramel, spice, and toasted grain, making it a favorite for both sipping and classic cocktails.
Whisky vs. Whiskey: What’s the Difference
The difference between whisky and whiskey primarily comes down to geography and tradition:
- Whisky (no 'e') - Used in Scotland, Canada, and Japan.
- Whiskey (with 'e') - Used in Ireland and the United States.
Why the Difference
The spelling variation dates back to the 19th century, when Irish distillers added an 'e' to distinguish their whiskey from Scottish whisky. This convention was later adopted by American distillers.
