Elijah Craig Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Elijah Craig is widely recognized as the first distiller to age whiskey in charred oak barrels, earning the title “Father of Bourbon.” This pioneering method transformed clear spirit into a rich amber whiskey, infused with deep, complex flavors from the wood—now the hallmark of Bourbon. Elijah Craig Small Batch is distilled, aged, and bottled in Kentucky using a traditional mash bill of 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% malted barley. It is aged between 8 and 12 years in #3 char new American oak barrels, developing a signature profile of warm spice with subtle smoky notes. Highly acclaimed, it has earned “Best Small Batch Bourbon” and Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, along with a 93-point rating of “Excellent, Highly Recommended” from the Ultimate Spirits Competition.
