lexkraai Posted December 17, 2001 Share Posted December 17, 2001 Old Potrero is the only 100% rye whiskey made in the US, but not the only one in the world: Johann Haider makes a whisky from 100% malted rye in his Roggenhof distillery in Austria.Cheers, Lex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdery Posted December 17, 2001 Share Posted December 17, 2001 Is Haider's beverage a whiskey, aged in wood, or a schnapps, which is not?<A target="_blank" HREF=http://cowdery.home.netcom.com>--Chuck Cowdery</A> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexkraai Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 Hi ChuckIt's aged in oak for three years, so it's a true whisky.Cheers, Lex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexkraai Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 I have a bottle at home, but haven't had a chance of opening and tasting it yet. Keep an eye out for issue 23 of Whisky Magazine .... (assuming everything goes as planned).Cheers, Lex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackkeno Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 Although Canadian Whisky is often referred to as Rye, it rarely has more than 50% rye. Two notable exceptions are Alberta Premium which is 100% Rye, and Lot 40 which is almost all Rye. Although neither resemble bourbon (beware) or each other, they are both quite good in a different kind of way. Certainly worth seeking out for someone "researching" rye.

lexkraai Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 And the best to you Linn!I got the commission for the article in WM, but still have to write it and do a whole lot of tastings for it .. sorry to be so cryptic at the moment, but what I can say is that the article will introduce a whole new 'family' of whiskies.Cheers, Lex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
