SwitchExplanation
Convert US cups of rye whiskey to grams using a density reference of 0.953 g/mL. With the US cup fixed at 236.588 mL, that gives 225.47 grams per cup for this ingredient.
That is especially useful for cocktail specs, batching sheets, and inventory work where rye whiskey starts from weight but service still uses poured measures. Rye Whiskey is treated here as 40% ABV, so stronger or lower-proof bottles can shift the practical density slightly.

Rye Whiskey density evidence
Rye whiskey is a style of whiskey made primarily from rye grain, known for its firm structure and pronounced spicy character. Produced mainly in the United States and Canada, it is distilled and typically aged in oak, resulting in a spirit that balances grain-driven spice with wood-derived depth.
Practical use: Rye whiskey is used as a base spirit in spirit-forward and stirred cocktails where structure and spice are desired. Its dryness and peppery character allow it to balance sweet vermouths, fortified wines, and sugar-based modifiers without becoming cloying, making it a foundational choice for many classic builds.
Composition and sensory context: Rye whiskey is defined by its spicy, dry, and assertive profile. Black pepper, baking spice, and herbal grain notes lead the palate, supported by hints of orchard fruit, citrus peel, and oak. Compared to bourbon, rye is leaner and less sweet, with a drier finish and a sharper, more angular structure that cuts through sweet modifiers in cocktails.
Rye Whiskey uses 0.953 g/mL in this dataset, which is 4.7% lighter by volume than the 1 g/mL water reference. Evidence status: medium-confidence. Source basis: Approx density for ~40% ABV ethanol-water at room temp (used across base spirits).
Among the 15 reviewed records labeled Spirits, the nearest density to Rye Whiskey is Añejo Rum at 0.953 g/mL: an absolute difference of 0 g/mL (0.0% relative to Rye Whiskey). The observed range in this labeled group is Añejo Rum at 0.953 g/mL to Whiskey at 0.953 g/mL. This is a numerical comparison, not a claim that the liquids are interchangeable.
Brand formulation, alcohol or sugar concentration, carbonation, and serving temperature can change the weight of a measured volume. Use this value as a documented reference rather than a producer specification.
