ELIJAH CRAIG STRAIGHT RYE KENTUCKY WHISKEY

Elijah Craig always impresses with value, but until now has been confined to bourbon. This foray into rye whiskey sticks close to Elijah Craig’s bourbon roots by using only the minimum-required 51% rye in its formulation; however, it does achieve a nice departure in flavor.
Aromas include butterscotch, caramel-nut clusters, and peppery spice. The spice ramps up on the palate, carried forward by the full-body, hearty proof, and mouth-coating texture, as cherry cola, baking chocolate, and darker fruits emerge. This rye delivers powerful flavors that feel excitingly untamed and will impress bourbon and rye lovers alike.
