Elijah Craig Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (2024) 70cl

Elijah Craig has long been a favourite bourbon of many whiskey enthusiasts - to the point where their stocks of 12 year old bourbon have been under a lot of pressure. The producers made the decision to discontinue the 12 Year Old expression and create this expression to take its place. It manages to maintain the incredibly high quality that Elijah Craig is known for, including the delicious core of cooked apple drizzled in honey notes. This expression has been well received, taking home not one but two San Francisco World Spirits Competition Double Gold medals!

Elijah Craig Small Batch has a delightfully complex nose, bringing aromas of vanilla with notes of sweet fruit and fresh mint. Smooth and warming on the palate, oak flavours with spicy accents, hints of smoke and nutmeg. A long, sweet, toasty finish. Rev. Elijah Craig is regarded as one of Bourbon's most important pioneers, noted as the first distiller to mature his whiskey using charred oak barrels. The Master Distillers at Heaven Hill follow in his pioneering footsteps, as they've been hand-selecting limited quantities of barrels to create the perfect blend for Elijah Craig Bourbon long before anyone else was calling it 'Small Batch'. It's this longstanding attention to detail that makes Elijah Craig Small Batch an essential addition to any Bourbon fan's collection.
