Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon Kentucky 1.75L

Elijah Craig Small Batch is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey aged for a minimum of 12 years in charred oak barrels. Crafted by Heaven Hill Distilleries at 94 proof (47% ABV), this bourbon represents a marriage of fewer than 100 carefully selected casks. The whiskey is distilled from a traditional mashbill and aged in #3 char new American oak barrels, honoring the legacy of Baptist minister Elijah Craig, who pioneered the practice of aging bourbon in charred oak casks in 1789 and is recognized as the "Father of Bourbon Whiskey."

This small batch bourbon displays a burnished copper hue and offers complex aromas of honey, sweet corn, vanilla, brown sugar, sweet fruit, and fresh mint. The palate delivers smooth and warm flavors featuring roasted nuts, creamy vanilla, molasses, tropical fruits, balanced with pleasant woody essence, dry oak, cinnamon, and nuanced accents of spice, smoke, and nutmeg. The finish lingers long, sweet, and slightly toasty with warming spice.

Elijah Craig Small Batch has earned numerous accolades including 95 points from Wine Enthusiast, recognition as "Best Bourbon Aged 10-12 Years" by Jim Murray's Whisky Bible, a Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and a WSWA Tasting Competition award.
