| Long Description | In 1789, Elijah Craig discovered greatness when he first charred oak barrels to make Bourbon. Today, we honor his innovative spirit with Toasted Rye: a unique expression that is charred to start and toasted to finish. Twice barreled for added complexity, Toasted Rye takes Elijah Craig's award-winning lineup to new heights. After it's fully matured, our Straight Rye Whiskey is finished in a second, custom toasted new oak barrel, where it’s left to develop even more sweet oak flavor. The finished product is a 94 proof Straight Rye Whiskey with a balanced layer of sweet oak. To fully enjoy its sweet oak complexities and long, smooth finish, it is recommended to sip Toasted Rye neat. |

| Brand Story | Elijah 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.' The charred barrel transformed the clear liquid inside into an intense amber whiskey made rich with the flavors of the wood which we now recognize as Bourbon. Today, we honor his innovative spirit with Toasted Rye: a unique expression that is charred to start and toasted to finish. |
