How the RyeCentral Review Rewards Work

1. Tell us what you’ve actually tried

Search RyeCentral for rye whiskies you’ve already tasted. If a bottle isn’t listed yet, you can suggest it and we’ll add it.

2. Leave an honest review (good or bad)

Share your real experience — flavor notes, how you drink it, whether you’d buy it again. We’re not looking for sugar-coated 5-star ratings, just genuine opinions.

3. Earn $10 in store credit per review

For each eligible review you leave, we’ll send you a digital $10 RyeCentral gift card you can use on barware, bar accessories, clothing and home products for whiskey lovers. 
Credit is not redeemable on alcohol.

We review submissions to keep things fair and may limit the number of credited reviews per person to prevent abuse.

 

Meet RyeLeigh, Our AI Bartender

RyeLeigh is our AI bartender, built specifically for rye whiskey drinkers.

Ask RyeLeigh questions like:

  • “What’s a good rye for Old Fashioneds if I like sweeter flavor profiles?”
  • “I enjoy high-rye, spicy bottles — what should I try next?”
  • “What’s similar to my favorite bottle but a bit more budget-friendly?”

RyeLeigh combines your flavor preferences with real community reviews to recommend bottles that actually fit your taste — not just what’s on sale. The more honest reviews people like you leave, the better RyeLeigh gets.

Why We’re Paying for Your Rye Whiskey Opinions

RyeCentral exists to make rye whiskey easier to understand and more fun to explore.

We’re not a bottle shop and we don’t push any specific brand. We’re building a neutral hub where:

  • Real drinkers share honest reviews
  • RyeLeigh, our AI bartender, uses flavor profiles and community feedback to recommend bottles you might actually enjoy
  • New and experienced rye drinkers can skip the guesswork and find their next favorite pour faster

Your reviews help:

  • Other drinkers avoid disappointing buys
  • Surface hidden gems and underrated bottles
  • Make RyeLeigh’s recommendations smarter and more accurate over time

What Can You Use Your Gift Card For?

Every time you leave an eligible review, you earn store credit that can be used on:

  • Whiskey glasses & tasting sets
  • Decanters & barware
  • Bar tools & accessories
  • Rye-themed clothing & merch
  • Home decor for whiskey lovers

Gift cards and credits cannot be used to purchase alcohol.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this really free? What’s the catch?

There’s no catch. If you’re 21+ and have actually tried the rye whiskies you’re reviewing, you can earn store credit for leaving honest feedback. We’re rewarding your time and insight, not buying positive reviews.

Are you paying me for 5-star reviews?

No. We want honest reviews — positive, neutral or negative. Your credit isn’t tied to the rating you give, just to leaving a genuine, thoughtful review.

How many reviews can I get credit for?

You can leave as many reviews as you like. To keep the program fair, we may cap the number of reviews that qualify for credit per person and may not approve duplicate, low-effort or spammy submissions.

What counts as an “eligible” review?

Reviews should be:

  • About a rye whiskey you’ve personally tried
  • Written in your own words
  • Specific enough to be helpful (a few sentences at least — flavor notes, how you drink it, what you liked or didn’t like)

How do I receive my gift card?

After your reviews are approved, we’ll email you a RyeCentral digital gift card you can use at checkout on barware, accessories, clothing and home decor on RyeCentral.com.

Who can participate?

This program is for legal drinking-age adults (21+ in the U.S.) in regions where participation is allowed and where we’re able to ship physical products.

Do you sell rye whiskey bottles?

No. RyeCentral does not sell alcohol. We’re a review community and discovery platform. Your gift card can be used on non-alcohol products only.
