Crafted as a \"Kentucky-style\" rye, it features a \"barely legal\" mash bill of 51% rye, 35% corn, and 14% malted barley. This specific grain ratio allows the whiskey to bridge the gap between the spicy punch of a traditional rye and the sweet, approachable complexity of a classic Kentucky bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAged in Level 3 charred oak barrels, this 94-proof expression delivers the extra-aging and craftsmanship that have made the brand a staple of American whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Medium chestnut with amber highlights. Nose: An aromatic bouquet of dark chocolate and baking spices, layered with bright notes of lemon peel, fresh mint, and a faint hint of cedar wood.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePalate: A velvety, buttery mouthfeel. Initial waves of honey and caramel sweetness are quickly met by a crescendo of black pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Subtle notes of apple and stone fruit dance in the background.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Long and warming. The rye spice lingers on the tongue, eventually yielding a dry, oaky finish with trailing notes of vanilla and toasted malt. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElijah Craig Rye is a \"cocktail mixer’s fever dream.\" Because of its high corn content, it doesn't have the aggressive, medicinal \"bite\" found in high-rye whiskeys. Instead, it offers a rounded sweetness that makes it an excellent choice for those looking to transition from bourbon to rye, or for any classic cocktail that needs a spicy backbone without overpowering the other ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal Serve:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a \"daily sipper\" that shines neat or on a large rock. However, its 94-proof strength makes it particularly spectacular in a Manhattan or a Sazerac, where the baking spices can truly pop against the bitters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"San Francisco Tequila Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55207905886376,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/9764\/6760\/files\/ElijahCraigRyeWhiskey750ml.png?v=1769225648","url":"https:\/\/sftequilashop.com\/products\/elijah-craig-rye-whiskey-750ml","provider":"San Francisco Tequila Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
