Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch C925 Kentucky Straight Bourbon 750ml

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is Heaven Hill's celebrated cask strength bourbon, and Batch C925 is the third and final release of 2025, bottled uncut, straight from the barrel, and without chill filtration for maximum flavor and impact. The line honors Reverend Elijah Craig, often called the Father of Bourbon, and since its 2013 debut it has become one of American whiskey's most beloved releases, issued roughly three times a year with each batch carrying its own unique proof, age statement, and flavor profile. Batch C925 is notable for being the youngest age statement in the series history, 9 years and 1 month, the first ECBP to come in under ten years, a deliberate move by Heaven Hill to let flavor maturity rather than age alone dictate readiness. It is also the strongest batch of 2025, bottled at a robust 129 proof, or 64.5 percent ABV. Built on Heaven Hill's signature mashbill of 78 percent corn, 10 percent rye, and 12 percent malted barley and matured in new charred American white oak, it delivers concentrated intensity with the elegance the Elijah Craig name is known for. The nose bursts with brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, toasted oak, and baking spice, layered with dark cherries, tart orange peel, and a hint of cedar. The palate is bold and full bodied, with caramelized richness, sweet oak, and warm rye spice carried by the high proof, leading to a long, warming finish. The batch designation tells its story: C for the third release, 9 for September, and 25 for 2025. Powerful yet refined, it is excellent neat or with a few drops of water to reveal its deeper sweetness.
