If you mix straight ryes from different states, is that a straight rye? Or is it like bourbon that it would have to be called "blend of straight ryes"?

Thanks^. That's what I figured.
To that end, I combined equal parts Bulleit Rye (95%) and Knob Creek Rye (51%), and saw that it was good. A nice balance of flavor and body. I suppose any 95% and any 51% will do, but those are the two I had handy.

Bourbons work to, just use less. I like to use corny bourbons like HH bond to round out LDI ryes.
I guess "give 'em the bird" isn't just a marketing slogan, it's a brand management strategy, too.
