Straight Rye Whiskey (USA) | Barrel Proof | Batch A925 | (Uncut & Unfiltered)

Process & Profile

Elijah Craig is launching its first-ever Barrel Proof Rye under the celebrated “Barrel Proof” line, and Batch A925 marks the inaugural release. This rye is expected to follow the same philosophy as the bourbon Barrel Proof series — uncut, unfiltered, and bottled straight from the barrel, preserving the full intensity of the distillate.

The name “A925” indicates the release sequence (A = January slot), month (September), and year (2025). This aligns with Elijah Craig’s batch naming convention for their bourbon line, now being extended to rye. According to preliminary reports, the debut rye will be bottled at 108.0 proof (54.0% ABV) and carry an age statement of 12 years, 3 months.

What Makes It Special
