Distillery Tasting Notes

Made by Heaven Hill Distilleries, Inc. ~ Heaven Hill Distillery

COLOR: Medium chestnut. AROMA: Dark chocolate with spices and a hint of smoke. TASTE: Rich baking spices and honey backed up with smooth oak influence. FINISH: Long and lingering. A unique combination of spicy rye grains and sweet corn, coupled with steadfast attention to detail, give Elijah Craig Straight Rye the perfect balance of flavor and smoothness. On the palate, it’s like butter, drenching down the jawline and hitting the tongue with a cadre of spice, from cinnamon to black pepper.
