Elijah Craig is credited as the first distiller to age his whiskey in charred oak barrels, earning his place in history as the ‘Father of Bourbon.’ The charred barrel transformed the clear liquid inside into an intense amber whiskey made rich with the flavors of the wood which we now recognize as Bourbon. Elijah Craig Small Batch is distilled, aged, and bottled in Kentucky from a traditional Bourbon mashbill of 78% Corn, 10% Rye and 12% Malted Barley and then aged for 8 to 12 years in #3 char new American oak barrels. The result of each Small Batch is a signature warm spice and subtle smoke flavor. Winner of “Best Small Batch Bourbon” and Double Gold medal at San Francisco World Spirits Competition and a 93 Point, “Excellent, Highly Recommended” rating at the Ultimate Spirits Competition Size: 750ML Proof: 118.2 (59.1% ABV)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
