Ironically, they were making and drinking rye long before
bourbon in those states. Also, almost all rye production is
now in Kentucky. And, most bourbons have some rye in the
mash. Both whiskeys are aged in charred oak barrels (except
for Old Portrero's 17th century whiskey, the only true 100%
rye, which cannot technically be called a rye--it's a long
story). So what's the diff. between bourbon and rye? the
amount of corn versus rye in the mash. that's it.
Shit, I think I am a bit obsessed.
