History

Elijah Craig 21 Year Bourbon is part of a revered series named after Reverend Elijah Craig, a legendary figure known as the father of bourbon. In 1789, an accidental fire charred some barrels, significantly enhancing the whiskey’s flavor. Recognizing this, Craig perfected the barrel charring process, which revolutionized bourbon making.

This unique spirit, aged for twenty-one years, is a testament to his legacy and a must-have for bourbon connoisseurs. Produced at the renowned Heaven Hill Distillery, still family-owned by the Shapira family, it shares its heritage with other notable brands such as Henry McKenna, Larceny Bourbon, Evan Williams, and Rittenhouse.

Please drink responsibly, you must be at least 21 years of age to enjoy alcoholic beverages.
