Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon 700mL is the award-winning Kentucky straight bourbon that started it all. Handcrafted by Heaven Hill's Master Distillers and aged in Level 3 charred new American oak barrels, this is a benchmark small batch bourbon delivering warm spice, subtle smoke, and remarkable smoothness at 40% ABV.
Tasting Notes
Appearance
Burnished copper with brilliant clarity, reflecting the depth of oak maturation and the richness of the spirit within.
Aroma
Delightfully complex — vanilla bean, sweet caramel, fresh mint, and dried fruit on the nose, with subtle hints of toasted oak and warm spice developing with time in the glass.
Palate
Smooth and warm with a pleasantly woody character. Accents of cinnamon spice, gentle smoke, and nutmeg add complexity, whilst the sweetness of caramel and vanilla carries through to a long, slightly toasty finish with remarkable balance and length.
Pairs With
Exceptional with smoked brisket, aged cheddar, dark chocolate, pecan pie, and charcuterie. Also outstanding neat, on the rocks, or as the foundation of a classic Old Fashioned or Manhattan.
