Elijah Craig Toasted Rye
In this expression, Elijah Craig imbues their award-winning Straight Rye Whiskey with even more flavor. Once fully matured, we finish Toasted Rye in a second, custom-toasted new oak barrel; adding a balanced layer of sweet oak complexity.
While the finishing process for Toasted Rye is similar to our Toasted Barrel Bourbon, the difference lies in the mashbill. It’s 51% rye grain instead of corn: the legal requirement for this style of American Whiskey.
