The complex aromas suggest red fruit, vanilla and allspice. The first sips open with oak, leading to hints of dried cherry and cranberry midpalate. That fruit note extends into the elongated, mouthwatering finish, backed by cinnamon and cayenne heat. (Best Buy) ... More details

#7 in the 2020 Top 20. Elijah Craig always impresses with value, but until now has been confined to bourbon. This foray into rye whiskey sticks close to Elijah Craig’s bourbon roots by using only the minimum-required 51% rye in its formulation; however, it does achieve a nice departure in flavor. Aromas include butterscotch, caramel-nut clusters, and peppery spice. The spice ramps up on the palate, carried forward by the full body, hearty proof, and mouth-coating texture, as cherry cola, baking chocolate, and darker fruits emerge. Priced a notch below comparable peers, this rye delivers powerful flavors that feel excitingly untamed, and will impress bourbon and rye lovers alike. - Winter 2020

Light golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of roasted apricot, cinnamon, pepper, vanilla, and cocoa nibs, tiramisu and nutella, and carrot cake with a round, vibrant, dry medium body and a warming, nuanced, long finish manifesting notes of brown sugar and vanilla, cherry syrup and orange zest, roasted coffee beans and tea leaves and cigar tobacco, and toasted almond cookies. A damn fine Whiskey regardless of category but that rye spice is present and unmistakable; benchmark and delicious.

Rated 92 by Ultimate Beverage Challenge
Invigorating brown spice and citrus notes give way to buttered pecan, cedar smoke, and graphite on the nose. Effortlessly smooth on the palate with warm, peppery tones and brown sugar that coats the mouth before finishing soft and fruity with a touch of clove. (Great Value) - 2023 ULTIMATE SPIRITS CHALLENGE
Winery
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.

Country: United States

Whilst there are several strains of native grape varietals in the United States, it was the introduction of the European species which prompted the country to begin producing wines on a large scale. Over the past few centuries, experimentation and cross-breeding has produced great successes in regards to the quality and suitability of the fruit grown in states such as California, Oregon, Washington and New York, and the past few decades have seen New World wines from the United States reach much higher standards. Arguably the finest United States wines have always come out of California, where the climate and terrroir is most suitable for fine wine production. The masterful blending of classic grape varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, amongst others including Syrah and Chardonnay, have had world beating results in recent years, prompting many to suggest that there has never been a better time for buying and drinking United States wines.
