Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon is not just a drink; it's a legacy. Born from the innovative spirit of Elijah Craig, known as "The Father of Bourbon", this whiskey is a tribute to the pioneering act of charring oak barrels. Today, every drop of Elijah Craig Bourbon is aged in Level 3 charred new oak barrels, releasing flavour compounds and aromas like caramelised sugars, vanillin, wood smoke, and spice.
The result? A bourbon that's delightfully complex. On the nose, you're greeted with notes of vanilla bean, sweet fruit, and fresh mint. Take a sip, and the smooth warmth envelops your palate, pleasantly woody with accents of spice, smoke, and nutmeg. The finish is long, sweet, and slightly toasty, leaving you yearning for the next sip.
But the Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon isn't just about taste. It's about heritage. It's about the meticulous craftsmanship of our master distillers who hand-select each barrel to create our signature, award-winning Small Batch Bourbon. It's about the accolades, from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition to the Ultimate Spirits Challenge, that bear testament to its unparalleled quality.
