Elijah Craig Straight Rye Whiskey

Description

Elijah Craig Straight Rye

The first rye to join the Elijah Craig brand, a nameplate synonymous with exceptional quality and extraordinary value. This wonderful example of barely legal rye is made with 51% rye, 35% corn, and a hearty 14% barley. The result is a sumptuous balance of spicy and sweet. This soon-to-be staple has racked up many awards and gushing reviews since it was released in 2020 (including a coveted spot at #7 on Whisky Advocate’s Top 20 of 2020), but it’s only now hitting CA shelves. Intelligently priced to fulfill your everyday rye needs, it’s hard to imagine this doesn’t become the first thing you reach for when making the classics. Try it in a Perfect Manhattan. Platinum Best of Class at SIP Awards, 2020. Fred Minnick: “Hello, the glorious nose of fruit, especially bananas, followed by toasted rye bread, burnt oven and oak. On the palate, its like butter, drenching down the jawline and hitting the tongue with a cadre of spices, from cinnamon to black pepper. The medium-to-long finish delivers a hint of rhubarb. Overall, this is tasty rye and the price makes it all the more lovely.”
