Tasting notes
The first rye whiskey to carry Elijah Craig's name. Made from a rye-forward mashbill that imbues bold spice, perfectly balanced with corn for distinct smoothness. Nose of dark chocolate with spice and a hint of smoke; rich baking spices and honey backed by smooth oak on the palate; long, lingering finish. Bottled at 94 proof.
