- Description
- Elijah Craig's straight rye brings Kentucky tradition to the rye category with a balanced 51% rye, 35% corn, and 14% barley mash bill that yields both spice and sweetness. Expect prominent baking spices and black pepper from the high rye content, tempered by buttery corn sweetness that smooths the finish. This is a whiskey that works both in classic cocktails and as a contemplative sipper.
