Bourbon vs rye in one page

Bourbon is a corn-forward American whiskey aged in new charred oak. Rye whiskey puts rye first, so it often tastes drier and spicier. In an Old Fashioned or Manhattan, rye usually snaps; bourbon usually rounds. Neither is “better.” If you like vanilla and caramel, start bourbon. If you like pepper and herbs, start rye. Bottled-in-bond and proof are legal facts when printed. Flavor paragraphs copied from other sites are not how we write product pages.
