Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey 700ml
Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey - 40% ABV | Heaven Hill Distillery, Bardstown, Kentucky
Named after Reverend Elijah Craig, often recognized as the pioneer of charred oak barrel aging, this small batch bourbon embodies over two centuries of Kentucky distilling tradition. Crafted by Heaven Hill in Bardstown, Kentucky, it blends barrels aged between 8 and 12 years to achieve a harmonious balance of structure and smoothness.
The mash bill consists of 78% corn, 12% malted barley, and 10% rye, reflecting a classic bourbon recipe that delivers consistency and depth of flavor. On the nose, expect inviting notes of vanilla bean, caramelized sugar, and toasted oak, complemented by subtle hints of dried fruit and a whisper of smoke.
The palate reveals rich layers of toffee, baked apple, and a touch of cinnamon, framed by nutty praline and gentle clove. Bottled at a moderate 40% ABV, it offers a silky texture and approachable warmth without overpowering heat. The medium-length finish lingers with oak, spice, honeyed grain, and faint tobacco leaf, leaving a refined impression.
Key Highlights:
- Rich, full-bodied bourbon with toffee, oak, and a subtle smoky character
