Long before bourbon dominated the liquor market, rye whiskey reigned supreme.
Now, a Midwestern distiller is teaming up with scientists to bring back a long-gone type of grain and turn it into spicy, bold whiskey.
The source is a wooden schooner named the James R. Bentley that's been sitting in Lake Huron for nearly 150 years. The ship sank in Nov. 1878 after striking a shoal.

Rye whiskey is superior to corn whiskey.
But the barleycorn is king.
“a Midwestern distiller is teaming up with scientists to bring back a long-gone type of grain and turn it into spicy, bold whiskey.”
.
Total guy logic.
Perform a miracle of science, then “hey, lets make some booze!”
Other scientists, “OK!”
.
Lake Superior, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy
But Huron, they cry, will give up the rye
When American is made great again
Same here, Omnivore-Dan. I like Bourbon. But, I have a few really good Rye expressions on my shelves, too.
Let’s see what these folks come up with...
Catchy.
Fascinating. Maryland’s last rye distiller Pikesville Supreme closed in 1976, although there are boutique distillers making limited amounts.
I like rye, this was a fascinating post.
“Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye”. Don McLean I think. I enjoy a shot or two of Rye whiskey once in a while.
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
If a tree don’t fall on me, I’ll live ‘til I die
Avoid the Arkan-cider....
$300/bottle?
.
The correct phrase is: ‘If the Yankees don’t kill me I’ll live till I die’.
I’m also a bourbon drinker but I like a good rye whiskey occasionally. 13th Colony a Georgia distilled makes really good one..
GIF that I made from the very strange Return to Zork game.
I quite like 100% Rye. not sure you can still get it. I have some canadian club.
Get puke-plastered but do it with taste and class! What a great idea!
