Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch #B526 Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

A powerful barrel-proof Kentucky straight rye from Elijah Craig, Batch B526 was aged for 10 years and 8 months before being bottled uncut and non-chill filtered. Built from a 51% rye mash bill, it combines mature oak with rich caramelized sweetness, baking spice, citrus, and dark fruit. The high proof gives the whiskey a dense, full-bodied character while preserving the intensity of its long barrel maturation.
