This expression blends the signature spice of Straight Rye with smooth, creamy notes of milk chocolate for a distinctive and memorable experience.

Crafted Through Toasting
The journey begins with fully matured Elijah Craig Straight Rye, which is re-barreled at barrel proof into custom toasted oak barrels.
