Elijah Craig
View Full Description [+ Read More]
Elijah Craig is a Kentucky straight bourbon brand produced by Heaven Hill Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, named after the Baptist minister historically credited with charring new oak barrels for aging whiskey. Heaven Hill distills Elijah Craig using a high-corn mash bill and ages the spirit in new charred American oak containers across multiple warehouses. The range begins with the Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon, a blend of barrels aged between eight and twelve years, while the 12 Year Old Bourbon represents a single-age expression from that same foundation. Extended aging defines the upper tier, with the 18 Year Old Bourbon released across multiple vintage years - 2019, 2020, and 2021 - and the 23 Year Bourbon Single Barrel 1990 representing the oldest and rarest expression in the range. The Toasted Barrel Straight Bourbon finishes in a secondary toasted oak vessel for added wood character.
