Elijah Craig Toasted Rye Barrel 750ml

Elijah Craig Toasted Rye takes Heaven Hill's Kentucky straight rye and gives it a second act in custom toasted-oak barrels — the same finishing trick that made the Toasted Barrel bourbon a cult favorite, applied to a spicier canvas. The rye underneath runs 51% rye in the mash, just past the legal line, which keeps corn sweetness in the frame while the toasted staves layer on campfire marshmallow, caramelized sugar, and warm vanilla. Rye spice still leads the palate; the toast rounds its edges into something closer to dessert than dare. Bottled at 94 proof, it sits beautifully in a glass neat and turns an ordinary Manhattan into the good kind of showing off.
