Tasting Notes
"Elijah Craig's new straight rye will be a contender for keeping on hand for casual sipping and mixing. At 51% rye in the mash bill, the rye character is very nicely balanced and approachable; vanilla leads on the palate, with secondary notes of hazelnut and leather and a subtle cinnamon spice on the finish. At 47% abv, it also has the strength for cocktails while remaining perfectly pleasant sipped neat. This is a solid addition to the category, and at a very reasonable price."
