Rye Whiskey is a drinking spirit that is required by law, in America, to be made from at least 51% rye mash, while the remainder is corn and barley. This is pointed out as Canadian Rye often contains very little Rye. It is then aged in oak barrels for a minimum of 2 years. It is then bottled at a minimum of 80 proof and a maximum of 160 proof. The creation of Rye whiskey uses large amounts of water to distill and process the mash, which Manifest Destiny will source from local mountain spring water. The end product is enjoyed as a strong alcohol with spicy and “brash” flavors. (Liquor.com)…
