Elijah Craig Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

The barrel charring process lends itself to more than just Bourbon. It all depends on the mashbill. Discover what the barrels can do for Straight Rye: a unique style of American Whiskey with a sweet, spicy character all its own.

The first extra-aged Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey to join Elijah Craig’s award-winning family of Bourbons. A unique combination of spicy rye grains and sweet corn, coupled with a steadfast attention to detail, give Elijah Craig Straight Rye the perfect balance of flavor and smoothness.

While the distillation process for Straight Rye is like the Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon, the difference lies in the mashbill. It’s 51% rye grain instead of corn: the legal requirement for this style of American Whiskey.
