Named Best-In-Show at TAG Global Spirits, 2023
ORIGINS:
The Reverend 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 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 Bourbon. Rich history and craftsmanship can be savored in every sip.
