Elijah Craig Small Batch is a beautiful 12 year old uncut and unfiltered barrel proof bourbon from the Heaven Hill distillery deserves to be experienced. The intense richness and heat offering a blast of flavor, Elijah Craig 12 Year Old Barrel Proof Bourbon is a must try for any barrel proof fans. If you can handle the heat enjoy neat, or cool slightly, opening up the bouquet over ice. Elijah Craig is a true Small Batch premium Bourbon, and had that distinction before the term even existed. Bottled exclusively from a dumping of 100 barrels or less, the brand carries the name of the Rev. Elijah Craig, the man who discovered the method of making true Kentucky Bourbon when he stored his wares in barrels that had been charred in a fire.
Elijah Craig Small Batch has a delightfully complex nose, bringing aromas of vanilla with notes of sweet fruit and fresh mint. Smooth and warming on the palate, oak flavours with spicy accents, hints of smoke and nutmeg. A long, sweet, toasty finish. Rev. Elijah Craig is regarded as one of Bourbon’s most important pioneers, noted as the first distiller to mature his whiskey using charred oak barrels. The Master Distillers at Heaven Hill follow in his pioneering footsteps, as they’ve been hand-selecting limited quantities of barrels to create the perfect blend for Elijah Craig Bourbon long before anyone else was calling it ‘Small Batch’. It’s this longstanding attention to detail that makes Elijah Craig Small Batch an essential addition to any Bourbon fan’s collection.
