This is the large 1.75 litre bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElijah Craig is credited as the first distiller to age his whiskey in charred oak barrels, earning his place in history as the Father of Bourbon. Elijah Craig Rye honours that innovative spirit as the first extra-aged Kentucky straight rye in the award-winning lineup. It is made much like Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon, but the mash bill leads with rye: 51% rye, 35% corn and 14% malted barley, aged in new charred American oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe extra ageing brings caramel and vanilla from the oak alongside the pepper, dried herb and caraway of the rye grain, in a more integrated package than younger ryes. The nose offers baking spice, dark fruit, vanilla and toasted oak with hints of citrus, and the palate brings bold rye spice, caramel, black pepper, honey and subtle cocoa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe big bottle is made for regular rye drinkers, home bars and cocktails.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmerican rye whiskey is made from a mash of at least 51% rye and aged in new charred oak, giving it a spicier, drier character than bourbon, with notes of pepper, herbs and baking spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Baking spice, dark fruit, vanilla, toasted oak and citrus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rye spice, caramel, black pepper, honey and cocoa.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integrated spice and oak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heaven Hill Distillery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey, extra-aged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash Bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 51% rye, 35% corn, 14% malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 94 proof (47% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e New charred American oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bardstown, Kentucky, United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.75L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat or on the rocks, or mix a Manhattan or Old Fashioned.
