This high rye bourbon is neither Scottish nor Irish in origin. Bourbon is a type of American whiskey, distinctively different from Scotch (from Scotland) and Irish whiskey. The term “high rye bourbon” refers to a bourbon whiskey that has a higher percentage of rye grain in its mash bill, compared to the typical bourbon. This gives it a spicier, and smoky flavor profile. Bourbon, including high rye bourbon, is primarily associated with the United States, especially Kentucky. This bourbon has hints of vanilla and chocolate and is really unique.
