Is Rye Whiskey, particularly Jim Beam brand rye lower in sugar content than white label?

Technically Old Potrero 18th Century is not considered a rye whiskey despite being distilled from 100% rye malt mash because it is stored in toasted (uncharred) oak barrels and not charred oak barrels. Amlai 11:03, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

As our contribution to Wikipedia's probably unintended, but nevertheless growing, collection of American whiskey folklore and legend, we believe readers would enjoy also visiting our website dedicated to just that subject, along with documentation of our personal visits to various American whiskey distillery sites, current and defunct.

[edit] Russell's Reserve Rye Whiskey Released

A new rye has come on the market. Russell's Reserve Rye. Distilled in Lawrenceburg, KY by Austin Nichols, the subsidiary of Pernod Ricard USA which produces Wild Turkey.

[edit] Wild Turkey

I don't know how to edit this, but the link to "Wild Turkey" on this page goes directly to the page for the bird, not the whiskey. If anyone can fix this it'd probably be helpful.

[edit] Templeton Rye

Added reference to Templeton Rye and reference link to Iowa Public Radio interview with distillers. -cman- (talk) 13:44, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

• I've fixed so it links to the bourbon, which is probably the best we can do. (I doubt there is a separate article for the rye version.) Crypticfirefly 01:24, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

• • None of that much matters, as Wild Turkey is *NOT* Rye Whisky, rather it is Bourbon. Even the manufacturer says so. --65.96.186.165 23:19, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

• • That is correct, however Wild Turkey does market a Rye whiskey: http://www.wildturkeybourbon.com/flock/bottxt8.htm so Wild Turkey's inclusion here is relevant. CrashRiley 19:22, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Indeed. 65.96.186.165 apparently failed to read the line where "Wild Turkey [brand] Rye Whiskey" is referred to. Crypticfirefly 04:08, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Founding fathers?

I thought rum was the drink of the founding fathers, and rye came along later. Rees11 (talk) 21:21, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
