Elijah Craig Straight Rye Whiskey

Description

Aroma

Move beyond the initial impression and delve deeper. While the rye brings a bright citrus and floral character, there are subtle hints hiding beneath. The corn influence might reveal itself with a hint of buttery caramel or vanilla.

Taste

The initial burst of zest from lemon peel and cardamom gives way to a more complex dance on the palate. Rich baking spices like cinnamon and allspice emerge, mingling with a smooth butterscotch sweetness. As you savor the rye, deeper notes of dark chocolate and toasted oak come through, adding depth and warmth.

Finish

The rye’s spicy character lingers pleasantly on the tongue, slowly fading into a touch of vanilla sweetness. Some tasters pick up on a hint of grilled corn or even a whisper of smoke, adding a unique intrigue to the aftertaste.
