Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Rye
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- i really like this stuff?
- Still, as a rye lover, I like this more than other bouryes and barely legal ryes. It’s not pretending to be a 95/5 MGP rye, but it’s good in its own lane.
- Coming off Parker’s Heritage Rye, I had high hopes for this inaugural release. And let me tell you, this did not disappoint. Despite being lower proof compared to EJBP historically, this is packed with rich deep flavors. ... But overall...
- Paid $63 and thought it was great. Would buy a second.
- Just got it today for 70. Dont expect fireworks, but for the price its solid. Pretty brown sugar forward, a true burbon drinkers rye
Cons
- Disagree, dont think this is for all rye lovers. This is a bourbon-lovers rye.
- A925 was incredibly disappointing. Comes nowhere close to Y725

Coming off Parker’s Heritage Rye, I had high hopes for this inaugural release. And let me tell you, this did not disappoint. Despite being lower proof compared to EJBP historically, this is packed with rich deep flavors. ... But overall this is an exceptional example of a lower proof, more readily available offering that will be embraced by all rye lovers. Value: Great value. Rating based on modified t8ke scale (rounded to the nearest 0.5 decimal): 8/10.

I liked this a lot. I'm going to pick this up when it hits my neck of the woods.

Very good, but not quite great. Expected more for a 12yo HH rye. Still interested in picking one up at retail, but content to wait a while for broader distribution and/or better batches.
Still a borderline great pour, and one I’d recommend you pick up should you see at MSRP! ... Score : 6.5
