Some whiskies are made from rye, a grain that has been used in whiskey production for centuries. Rye whiskies are typically full-bodied and spicy, with a distinct flavor profile. Blended whiskies are a combination of different types of whiskies, usually including a mix of malt and grain whiskies. Blended whiskies are often smoother and more mellow than single malt whiskies. Both rye and blended whiskies are popular choices for whiskey drinkers.
