Distillation & Provenance

Crafted only for our premium spirits

Distillation

Elijah Craig Straight Rye Whiskey is produced at Heaven Hill Distilleries in Bardstown, Kentucky, from a rye-dominant mash bill — at least 51% rye grain, as required for the Straight Rye designation, supplemented with corn and malted barley. The whiskey is fermented, distilled in traditional copper pot stills, and aged for a minimum of two years in new charred American white oak barrels. The Straight Rye must be distilled to no more than 160 proof and entered into the barrel at no more than 125 proof under American regulations. The resulting whiskey presents the bold, spicy, and peppery character of high-rye American whiskey. Bottled at 47% ABV.

Provenance

Elijah Craig is produced at Heaven Hill Distilleries in Bardstown, Nelson County, Kentucky — the heart of bourbon country and home to more whiskey distilleries per square mile than anywhere in the world. Heaven Hill was founded in 1935, shortly after Prohibition's repeal, and remains one of the largest family-owned spirits companies in the United States, controlling the largest independent stocks of ageing Kentucky bourbon. The Elijah Craig brand is named in tribute to Reverend Elijah Craig — the Baptist minister historically credited, though with some scholarly debate, as one of the pioneers of charred oak barrel ageing of American whiskey in the late eighteenth century.
