Tasting notes
Fully matured Elijah Craig Straight Rye Whiskey finished in a second, custom-toasted new oak barrel — adding a balanced layer of sweet oak complexity to the spirit's natural rye spice. Nose of toasted oak, crème brûlée, almond, and hazelnut; soft, creamy palate of milk chocolate and subtle baking spices; softly warming, long-spiced finish. Bottled at 94 proof.
