Description

Elijah Craig Straight Rye Whiskey

The first extra-aged Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey to join Elijah Craig’s award-winning family of Bourbons. A unique combination of spicy rye grains and sweet corn, coupled with a steadfast attention to detail, give Elijah Craig Straight Rye the perfect balance of flavor and smoothness.

While the distillation process for Straight Rye is similar to our Small Batch Bourbon, the difference lies in the mash-bill. It is a 51% rye grain instead of corn (the legal requirement for this style of American Whiskey) 35% corn and 14% barley.

Elijah Craig Straight Rye Whiskey features a chestnut color. This rye whiskey has aromas of dark chocolate, spice and a hint of smoke. The palate is full of rich baking spices and honey, complimented by smooth oak notes that lead into a long, lingering finish.
