Rye Under $25 in Boston

About Rye

Rye whiskey is American whiskey made from at least 51 percent rye grain, and this category holds straight rye, aged rye and cask-finished bottles. Rye usually tastes spicier and drier than bourbon, which makes it a common choice for the Manhattan and Old Fashioned. The shelf includes WhistlePig, High West, Michter's, Basil Hayden, Knob Creek, Elijah Craig, Clyde May's and Sir Davis, with expressions such as a 15 year estate oak rye and a 12 year old world cask rye. Straight rye means a minimum of two years in new charred oak. You can buy rye in Boston in store, with pickup or with delivery.
