Rye is a cold tolerant crop that will survive the harsh winters of the northern states. States like PA, NY, Etc. had abundant rye crops, so they made a lot of rye whiskey. Corn was more of a southern crop, so the southern states made more corn whiskey (aka bourbon). They wanted to get away from the queen taxing the molasses, which is what rum was made from. you guys should try the 1776 bourbon, it’s got a nice confectioner sugar, oak baking spice and cinnamon nose. it’s one of my go to bourbons for a daily sipper
