It's actually not that rare they don't have rye. Often you ask for rye and just get a canadian whiskey.

- faboo 16y agoWhat do Canadians put in that stuff anyway? I've yet to see a bottle that mentioned what goes in it. And it seems like most places only have cheap and/or blended Canadian whiskey. Does Canada produce a top-shelf whiskey?
- defen 16y agoCanadian whiskey can be made from any grain or blend of grains, but historically rye was popular. Canadian law allows a whiskey to be labelled as rye even if it contains very little or no rye, as long as it has the aroma and character of rye whiskey. U.S. labeling laws require a "straight rye whiskey" to be distilled from a mash of 51% or more rye.

- tptacek 16y agoRye is getting really popular (for good reason; it's excellent). There's a run on Templeton in Chicago right now.
- desigooner 16y agoI had the chance to taste some Sazerac Rye recently and I'm not really into Rye. Very good stuff.
