"Elijah Craig, long celebrated as one of the leading names in premium American whiskey, has announced the launch of its first ever Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey. Known as the "Father of Bourbon" for introducing the use of charred oak barrels, Elijah Craig now expands its acclaimed portfolio with a new rye expression that whiskey fans have been waiting for."
"The debut Barrel Proof Rye carries a remarkable age statement of 12 years and 3 months, setting it apart in the rye whiskey category. Presented in its purest form-uncut and non-chill filtered-the whiskey reflects both patience and precision in craftsmanship. The result is a deep copper-hued spirit that showcases the complexity and richness Elijah Craig enthusiasts have come to expect."
"The aroma leads with warming notes of baking spices, gingerbread, and a touch of molasses. On the palate, the experience unfolds with stewed fruits and cinnamon, balanced by layers of rye spice that build into a lingering finish. Nutmeg and spice carry through to the end, leaving a bold yet refined impression. At 108 proof, the whiskey delivers a surprising balance-bold in flavor but approachable enough for both seasoned whiskey drinkers and newcomers to barrel proof spirits."
