Elijah Craig Small Batch 1789 Whisky 700ml

Elijah Craig Small Batch 1789 American Whisky  is named after the Reverend Elijah Craig who is credited as the first person to use charred barrels to age whiskey 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 and the use of charred oak barrels has been written into Bourbon law.

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.
