Rye kernels and rye bread, sure, but not rye spirit. Bitter aromas generally don’t make it through the distillation process. Rye whiskey does have a lot of oak tannins, but it shares that property with bourbon. I would agree that bourbon tastes somewhat “sweeter” than rye, but it’s a subtle difference.
You can keep your bread-flavored soda. My water is flavored with ROCKS (minerals added for taste).
I wish it was bread-flavored. Bread doesn’t usually taste like bitter herbs.
May I recommend kvass?
fuck that i love rye *downvote*
But rye doesn’t have any bitter herbs …
There’s actually so little actual Rye left after distillation that whiskey is gluten free. (Beer is not)
Rye isn’t bitter?

Also, rye is a grain, not a herb.
Try the Russian bread water (Kwas) in your local eastern European grocer.
Ah a nice Chablis in summer is so refreshing!
