Elijah Craig is giving its straight rye whiskey the toasted treatment. On Wednesday, the Heaven Hill brand announced the latest addition to its family of whiskies: Elijah Craig Toasted Rye. This expression arrives four years after the release of the Kentucky brand’s Toasted Barrel Bourbon, which quickly became a crowd-favorite among VinePair staff and ranked among the top 10 bottles on our list of the Best Spirits of 2022.

When it comes to bourbon whiskey, there are a lot of different terms you need to know to be fluent in the language of this corn-based spirit. Some of the more confusing terms include “cask strength,” “proof,” “bottle-in-bond,” and “straight.” These phrases need a little bit of explaining. But one that seems fairly straightforward is “store-pick.” But is it?

We're getting to the bottom of what a store-pick bourbon means

Remember the glory days? When we all had skinny jeans and immaculate beards and wore beanie hats, even in summer? When going for a pint meant nine percent porters, pink rhubarb sours and whatever a ‘saison’ is. It meant tasting each and every beer on tap to make sure they weren’t ‘too hoppy’. It meant, perhaps more than anything, bright, graphic labels and deeply silly names.

RIP IPA: who killed craft beer?

The Treacle No.1 is an Old Fashioned riff with a base of dark rum, combined with simple syrup, aromatic bitters, and an apple cider float. This simple cocktail came together in 1990s London, care of the late Dick Bradsell, the influential bartender behind modern classic creations like the Espresso Martini and the Bramble. Essentially a rum Old Fashioned with an apple cider float, the Treacle No.1 (sometimes just referred to as the Treacle) is one of Bradsell’s lesser-known but equally delicious creations.

This rum Old Fashioned, from the legendary bartender behind the Espresso Martini, tastes like a sticky toffee pudding.
