think you are right about it not selling for as much more than lesser <?>
brands of Rye. It's a little better than most Rye whisky but if I am paying
premium price it won't be for Rye. I love Scotch and Irish, but I am not
crazy
about Rye or Bourbon, but Rye does make an excellent Manhattan

I am pretty sure Crown Royal is not a rye whisky but a corn whisky. Check
the label and the word rye or corn is not mentioned. Most Canadain whisky is
made from corn. There are only a few rye whiskys I am aware of and one is
Alberta Springs. Actual malted rye grain is not used as it attracts
undesirable molds/contaminants during production however ground up rye grain
may be used as an adjunct in the mashing process.
