Product description
Elijah Craig Small Batch is a bourbon named in honor of Reverend Elijah Craig—a Baptist minister and distilling pioneer who founded his distillery in 1789 on Elkhorn Creek in what is now Georgetown, Kentucky.According to historical accounts, he was one of the first distillers to begin aging whiskey in heavily charred oak barrels.It was this process that was intended to give the spirit a deeper color and richer flavor, laying the foundation for the bourbon style we know today.
More than two centuries later, Elijah Craig remains one of the most recognizable Kentucky bourbon brands.The Small Batch version is crafted from a blend of carefully selected barrels that have been aged for 8 to 12 years.Wood aged to the third degree gives the spirit its distinctive character—with pronounced notes of vanilla, caramel, and spices, while maintaining an elegant balance.
Bottled at 47% ABV, this bourbon offers a full-bodied flavor without sacrificing smoothness.This is a great choice for those who appreciate the classic, mature style of American whiskey—both for sipping neat and as a solid base for cocktails such as the Old Fashioned or the Manhattan.
