Taste

This sophisticated 18-year-old bourbon is a homage to master distiller Elijah Craig. Initially released in 1994, this limited-edition bourbon is meticulously crafted at the renowned Heaven Hill Distillery. With a mash bill comprising 78% corn, 12% malted barley, and 10% rye, it presents a complex flavor profile featuring robust leather and oak notes, harmoniously balanced with spiced vanilla. The palate offers subtle mint undertones interwoven with chocolate, culminating in a prolonged finish marked by honey, toasted wood, and char.

History

This exceptional bourbon is part of an esteemed series honoring Reverend Elijah Craig, a trailblazer in bourbon production. In 1789, a fortuitous fire charred some barrels, drastically altering the whiskey’s flavor. Recognizing its potential, Craig refined this method, earning him the moniker “The Father of Bourbon.” This unique spirit is bottled from single barrels aged for eighteen years, making it a prized possession for any bourbon aficionado. Produced at the family-operated Heaven Hill Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, it shares a rich heritage with other distinguished brands like Henry McKenna and Evan Williams.

Please drink responsibly. You must be at least 21 years old to enjoy alcoholic beverages.
