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.

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

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.

The most miserable excuse for a town in the entire state of New York. A town where rich bitches who should not be allowed in the gene pool drink their starbucks and pop their collars while competing for the title of "biggest whore". If you live in Rye you are most likely a stuck up bitch or a whiny cocky asshole arian who follows every idiotic trend so you will fit in to your pothead infested shithole called Rye High School. Other then it's striking similarity to a steaming pile of dog fesces, Rye isn't so bad.
