Elijah Craig Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey
Following the defeat of the British at the Battle of Yorktown during the American Revolutionary War, the territory west of the Appalachian mountains became known as Kentucky County. At the time, the territory was considered part of Virginia, and was overseen by a military governor named John J. Bowman.
In order to encourage westward expansion, Virginia issued pioneers who agreed to settle in Kentucky County “corn writs,” which granted the pioneers 60 acres of land if they agreed to settle in Kentucky and start farming corn.One year after the defeat of the British, a Baptist minister named Elijah Craig emigrated to Fayette County (today, a part of the State of Kentucky) and purchased 1,000 acres of land in a town named Lebanon. In 1789, Craig built a distillery on his farm and is credited with being the first person to mature bourbon in charred, oak casks, earning him the title “Father of Bourbon Whiskey.”
Elijah Craig Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey pays homage to Craig and his unique legacy. The bourbon is bottled from the marriage of fewer than 100 casks of maturing bourbon, each of which is rested in a Kentucky rickhouse for a minimum of a dozen years.
Elijah Craig Kentucky Straight Rye is crafted with a mash bill of 51% rye, 35% corn, and 14% malted barley. The classic recipe has a high percentage of corn in line with post-Prohibition standards that have brought on the resurgence of the style.
This brings it close to bourbon, making it a popular choice for bourbon fans and rye aficionados alike. Bottled at 94 proof, it’s a balanced and approachable spirit that showcases Elijah Craig’s attention to detail and signature smoothness.

I’m not one to refrigerate my bourbon, preferring a room temperature shot from time to time. The first notes of Noah’s were wonderful. There was a soft heat and the fruity notes were lovely. As time went on and we got closer to the bottom of the bottle, it heated. Harshly. We are not aficionados and perhaps didn’t treat this whiskey quite right, but that last shot was really tough. I might take to refrigerating in the future …

Nicely balanced, a quintessential bourbon. One of my go-tos. Getting harder to find!

My father in law searches high and low for this (and Blanton’s) each time it comes in stock locally. He very rarely gets his hands on it so I thought I’d try this site out so I can get him some for Christmas. It arrived in a little over a week, and was packaged phenomenally and there were no issues. I can’t wait to gift it to him!

Smoothest affordable bourbon on the market. Can’t go wrong with this purchase.
Lucas (verified owner) –
I was fully prepared to not buy into the hype, but this is a very good bourbon and a decent value price point. Full-flavored, rich, and easy to drink. I’d like to keep a bottle in my cabinet.

Good service.
Karin (verified owner) –
Just the right amount of heat. Starts out earthy, a little herby, and slightly fruity. Finishes with a burnt caramel that dances on the tongue. This is my favorite and my go-to bourbon.
Zachery (verified owner) –
Huge selection of any alcohol, reasonable prices, long opening hours, but not very friendly employees.
Leo (verified owner) –
Very clean Shelf is always fresh. I come here at least once a week and I never was disappointed. They have a bathroom. Just parking is a little bit difficult. Just park on the front! Enjoy!
