History,
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.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: Black pepper and summer fruits form against an herbal bouquet. Mild in its intensity the aromas find the middle ground between blasé and inviting.
Palate: Surprisingly sweet; kettle corn and caramel sweetness originate first. A mix of allspice, nutmeg, and rye grain follows. The sweetness remains though, and begins to ramp up into the finish. Light bodied and mild in its intensity overall.
Finish: A crescendo of sweetness introduces vanilla and butterscotch, which is quickly met with a hit of lasting rye spice. The finish delivers the right level of intensity which is lacking in the nose and palate, making it the highlight of the sip.
