Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Rye

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Rye is a Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey from Heaven Hill Distillery, bottled uncut directly from the barrel and without chill filtration. Introduced in 2025, each release carries its own batch number, age statement and barrel proof, so the exact proof and age depend on the specific bottle.

Food Pairing: Pairs well with smoked brisket, barbecue ribs, aged cheddar, roasted nuts, dark chocolate and spiced desserts.

Tasting Notes: A bold, full-bodied rye combining stewed fruit, baking spices, molasses and concentrated rye spice.

Nose: Baking spices, gingerbread and sweet molasses.

Palate: Stewed fruits with cinnamon, nutmeg and rich rye spice.

Finish: Long and warming with butterscotch, nutmeg and lingering rye spice.

Serve: Best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up the barrel-proof flavors.
