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.

Get the ryemug. A "city" in New York, filled with rich WASPs and huge McMansions. It's also the correct lyric in the song American Pie.

Get the Ryemug. A tribute to a favoured Canadian whiskey. "Rye Not" is a phrase used in response to a question about a shot. It can also be used in response to a drunk friend's question, similar to YOLO without the douchbaginess of said statement.
"Eh! Do you want a shot of rye?!"
"Rye Not!"
"I wasn't that into him, but I was absolutely shitfaced and thought, Rye Not."

Get the Ryemug. Rye is a one a kind name for a one of a kind person
Has a few issues but still loves the way he knows how
Loves his bikes and camping and chilling with a bottle of burbon
