SMALL BATCH: Long before the term Small Batch even existed, our distillers were hand-selecting just a select number of barrels to make Elijah Craig, the original Small-Batch Bourbon.
FULL OF CHARACTER: Elijah Craig is the signature Bourbon bearing the name of Reverend Elijah Craig, a Bourbon pioneer who is credited as the first distiller to age his whiskey in charred oak barrels.
HERITAGE: Elijah Craig is made at Heaven Hill’s Distillery and Rickhouses in Kentucky. Heaven Hill is the only heritage distiller that produces every major style of American Whiskey.
TASTING NOTES: Full-bodied rich, smooth and warm; pleasantly woody with accents of spice, smoke, and nutmeg. A long, sweet, slightly toasty and beautifully balanced finish.
AWARD-WINNING: Elijah Craig won a Platinum Medal at the American Spirits Council of Tasters (ASCOT) Awards and is Drinks International’s ‘Number 7 Top Trending American Whiskey’ as voted for by the World’s Top 100 Bars.

Details: Description
Named after the Reverend Elijah Craig who is credited as the first person to use charred barrels to age whiskey earning his place in history as the 'Father of Bourbon.' The charred barrel transformed the clear liquid inside into an intense amber whiskey made rich with the flavors of the wood which we now recognize as Bourbon and the use of charred oak barrels has been written into Bourbon law. Elijah Craig Small Batch is distilled, aged and bottled in Kentucky from a traditional Bourbon mashbill of 78% Corn, 10% Rye and 12% Malted Barley and then aged for 8 to 12 years in #3 char new American oak barrels. The result of each Small Batch is a signature warm spice and subtle smoke flavor.
