Rye is a grass grown to be used much like a grain.
As a slang term 'Rye' usually refers to rye whiskey although other alcohols, such as vodka and beer, can also be made using the crop.
Rye alcohol was extremely popular during prohibition and its production faded increasingly following the dry period. Nowadays, only a select few alcohol makers still produce rye whiskey, and even fewer produce other beverages using rye. The most popular brands of rye whiskey are undeniably: Wild Turkey and Jim Beam.
When used alone, 'rye' almost exclusively refers to rye whiskey.

Another name for Canadian Whisky. Called thus because it is made mostly from rye grain. Famous brands include Canadian Club, Crown Royal, Black Velvet, Gibson's Finest, Royal Reserve, VO and others. Rye has a mellow flavor and is smoother than other kinds of whisky. It must be aged a minimum of 3 years by Canadian law. 8, 10, 12, 15 and 21-year old ryes are also available. Rye is not generally popular in the USA except in a few places where locals took a liking to it back in the days of prohibition when large amounts of Canadian whisky was smuggled into the USA. Canadians consume large quantities of rye.
