Rye or Rye Not?
from WhiskyCast · host Mark Gillespie/CaskStrength Media
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.
