Hey all,
I'm working with a local farmer/malt house for obtaining rye for a rye whiskey. They have bresseto and bono available, elbon the following year. I can't find a lot of reliable information regarding their use in the distilling world. I know a handful of places that seem to swear by elbon. Any chance our vast forum has an idea of what types of rye some of the rye whiskies use that I can find on the shelf? I'd like to tap into my collection and get a feel for the difference in the varieties. I realize there is a lot going on with a the spirit; age, barrel, speciality grains, etc, so it might not be much help, but I figured it couldn't hurt to reach out and get some info or suggestions.
My initial thought on a recipe is a high rye, about 80%+ of rye/malted rye.
