The King of Rock 'n' Roll's Rye
Launched in September 2021, "The King" honors Elvis's most famous nickname with a high-rye mash bill sourced from Indiana's storied rye country and finished in Tennessee. The 95/5 mash bill is the classic high-rye build — all spice, all the time. See more rye whiskey and the Elvis Whiskey collection.
Tasting Notes
Soft amber in the glass. Sweet rye grassiness, citrus, and apple up front, with toasted oak, butterscotch, vanilla wafers, and a hint of pepper; the finish is sweet, complex, and creamy (per the brand).
How to Enjoy
Neat or on a large cube — the 95% rye mash bill rewards slow sipping. It also makes a properly spicy Manhattan or Sazerac.
