The Elijah Craig Straight Rye Whiskey is a remarkable, extra-aged rye whiskey that carries the name of Elijah Craig, the entrepreneur and distiller believed to be the first to age his American whiskey in charred oak barrels to make Bourbon. This Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is produced from barrels hand-selected by the distillers at Heaven Hill Distilleries, Inc., and is the first extra-aged rye whiskey to join Elijah Craig's award-winning family of bourbons.
This whiskey is made from a unique combination of spicy rye grains and sweet corn, offering a perfect balance of flavor and smoothness. With a 94 proof (47% ABV), it reveals the imbuing spice of rye grains, perfectly balanced with corn for distinct smoothness and character.
Elijah Craig Straight Rye Whiskey originates from Heaven Hill's 51% rye mash bill, which also includes Pikesville Rye and Rittenhouse Rye brands. This mash bill is often referred to as a "barely legal rye" mash bill as it contains the bare minimum 51% rye required by law. The flavor profile of Elijah Craig Rye is quite similar to what might be expected from a bourbon, though it lacks the oak forwardness of its bourbon counterpart, Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon.
While Elijah Craig Rye will certainly be a crowd-pleaser, it offers only a slight variation from other ryes in the marketplace.
