Description
Elijah Craig Toasted Rye Whiskey is a Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey produced in Kentucky and bottled at 94 proof / 47% ABV. It begins with Elijah Craig Straight Rye, made with a mash bill of 51% rye, 35% corn, and 14% malted barley. Once fully matured, the whiskey is transferred into a second custom-toasted new oak barrel for additional oak complexity.
The official profile features aromas of toasted oak, crème brûlée, almonds, and hazelnuts. On the palate, it develops a soft, creamy texture with milk chocolate and subtle baking spices, followed by a gently warming finish with lingering rye spice. The toasted-barrel finishing adds sweetness and oak depth without changing its official Kentucky Straight Rye classification.
