Shell Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Some bourbons stand out with their high rye content and contributing to distinctive flavors. Bourbons that I have heard to have the highest rye content include Four Roses Single Barrel and Old Grand Dad (with reportedly 35% or 37% rye in the mashbill) Bulleit Rye, Basil Hayden, and Old Forester. Highwest Bourye would also have to fall into this category, I would think.What are the rye % of these various bourbons - and which one would have the highest rye content? (I don't think that this has been addressed in other posts, but if so - sorry for repeating it.)Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Dog Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Of the bourbons you mentioned, Bulleit is simply sourced 4R high-rye mashbill.(Although Diageo reps have falsely stated otherwise. ) And Basil Hayden is the same mashbill as Old Grand-Dad. Bourye is a blend of Bourbon and Rye, so it wouldn't technically be a "High-Rye" mashbill, but I know what you're saying. I suggest doing a search to find Josh's whiskey tree to further explore all the mashbills. This is why I always ask the moderators to make the whiskey tree a sticky, to no avail.
