Process & Profile
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof 10 Year Rye Batch H-04 124.4 Proof presents Heaven Hill’s Kentucky rye whiskey uncut, straight from the barrel, and without chill filtration. It is distilled from the distillery’s traditional rye mash bill of 51% rye, 35% corn, and 14% malted barley, creating a Kentucky-style rye that balances grain-driven spice with substantial corn sweetness.
Aged for 10 years in new charred oak barrels, Batch H-04 is bottled at its natural barrel strength of 124.4 proof. Extended maturation adds seasoned oak, dark sweetness, and concentrated fruit to the rye’s cinnamon, nutmeg, molasses, and peppery character.

How to Enjoy
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof 10 Year Rye Batch H-04 124.4 Proof is best tasted neat in a Glencairn or other aroma-focused whiskey glass. Allow the whiskey to rest for several minutes before sipping so its concentrated molasses, fruit, oak, and baking-spice aromas can emerge beneath the barrel-proof intensity.
After tasting it neat, add a few drops of water to reveal more butterscotch, cinnamon, stewed fruit, and rye spice. A large ice cube can provide slower dilution, but minimal alteration is recommended for experiencing the full 10-year-old, batch-specific profile.
