Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey | 62.2% ABV | 124.4 Proof | 750mL | 10 Years Old | Batch H-04 | 51% Rye, 35% Corn, 14% Malted Barley | Barrel Proof | Non-Chill Filtered

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.

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Baking spices, gingerbread, dark molasses, toasted oak, and concentrated fruit.

  • Palate: Stewed fruit, butterscotch, cinnamon, nutmeg, caramelized sugar, and mature oak.

  • Finish: Long and warming with lingering butterscotch, black pepper, cinnamon, and rye spice.

What Makes It Special

  • Identified as the distinctive Batch H-04 release.

  • Carries a substantial 10-year age statement, allowing the rye and oak characteristics to become fully integrated.

  • Bottled at 62.2% ABV and 124.4 proof.

  • Made with Heaven Hill’s traditional mash bill of 51% rye, 35% corn, and 14% malted barley.

  • Presented uncut and straight from the barrel without chill filtration.

  • Combines the bold spice of rye whiskey with the caramelized sweetness and rounded body associated with a higher-corn Kentucky rye recipe.

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.
