“Our tasters put the whiskey to a real-world test, dousing it with water and sipping it on ice, the way many of us enjoy cask strength whiskies. Our tasters were amazed at how this bold whiskey stood proud. It is a mouth-filling, deeply satisfying whiskey, amazingly palatable even at full proof, that will delight many drinkers at a great price—virtues we can all agree on.” - Jeffery Lindenmuth, Whisky Advocate
Origins
The Rev. Elijah Craig is credited with being the first distiller to age his whiskey in charred oak barrels: a practice that is now mandatory for all Kentucky Bourbons. Today, each bottle of Elijah Craig is crafted using the same methods developed by the Father of Bourbon over two hundred years ago: local corn and grains are milled and mixed with limestone-rich Kentucky spring water, then fermented and distilled. After years of aging in charred oak, the Master Distillers at Elijah Craig select the most complex barrels for their Small Batch, Barrel Proof, and Single Barrel Bourbons. Rich history and craftsmanship can be savored in every sip.
