Rye whiskey
Rye whiskey can refer to either of two, different, but related, types of whiskey:
American rye whiskey
In the United States, "rye whiskey" is, by law, made from a mash of at least 51 percent rye. (The other ingredients of the mash are usually corn and malted barley.) It is distilled to no more than 160 (U.S.) proof (80% abv), and aged in charred, new oak barrels. The whiskey must be put into such barrels at not more than 125 (U.S.) proof (62.5% abv). Rye whiskey that has been so aged for at least two years may be further designated as "straight", as in "straight rye whiskey".

Rye Whiskey
by: Rumbleseatjack of diamonds, jack of diamonds
i've known you to hold
to rob my poor pocket
of silver and gold
whiskey like rye
tree don't fall on me
i'll live till i die
if the ocean was whiskey
and i was a duck
i'd dive to the bottom
and never come up
now the ocean ain't whiskey
and i ain't a duck
i play jack a diamonds
and trust to luck
whiskey-eye
whiskey like rye
if whiskey don't kill me
