Toasted Rye honors that innovative spirit: once fully matured, Elijah Craig Straight Rye is dumped and re-entered at barrel proof into a second custom-toasted new oak barrel, designed with Independent Stave Company, to develop even more sweet oak. Because the finishing barrel is new and charred, it keeps its status as Kentucky straight rye whiskey. The mash bill is at least 51% rye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToasted oak and crème brûlée lead the nose with almonds and hazelnuts.
