Elijah Craig Bourbon traces its roots to the late 18th century when Reverend Elijah Craig, a Baptist preacher and distiller, is believed to have created the first charred oak barrel-aged whiskey in Kentucky. This pioneering spirit laid the foundation for what would become known as bourbon whiskey. Today, Elijah Craig is celebrated as one of the premier bourbon brands, renowned for its commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
Elijah Craig 18 Year is a masterpiece of aging, offering a rich and complex flavor profile. On the nose, aromas of caramel, vanilla, and oak mingle with hints of dried fruits and baking spices. The palate delights with layers of toffee, dark chocolate, and roasted nuts, complemented by undertones of leather and tobacco. The finish is long and lingering, with notes of caramelized sugar and toasted oak, leaving a satisfying warmth that beckons for another sip. This bourbon epitomizes elegance and refinement, showcasing the pinnacle of aged whiskey craftsmanship. This bottle is a pre-fire Heaven Hill product.
