Rye or Rye Not?

Europeans have been making rye whisky for generations, but a
20-year-old treaty between the European Union and Canada is
affecting their ability to call their whisky what it is…rye
whisky. The treaty restricts the use of “rye whisky” to Canadian
ryes, even though there’s no requirement that Canadian Rye whisky
be made with rye. We’ll talk with Stauning Whisky’s Alex Munch
about the bureaucratic nightmare that was only recently
discovered. In the news, flooding has hit Kentucky distillers
hard, while tariffs are going into effect this week that will
affect whisky makers worldwide.
