Rye whisky was the traditional American saddlebag whisky. It is, as its name suggests, simply made using a larger proportion of Rye as opposed to corn. Rye whisky must be produced at no more than 160 proof and be aged in new, charred oak barrels for at least two years to be designated 'straight'.
The older "yellow label" bottling from Jim Beam is reported to be very similar to the current "Pre-Prohibition Style" release. Albeit at a lower ABV. Scoop this up for an easy nostalgia hit.
