Elijah Craig Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml
Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon is a classic Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey rooted in one of the most influential legacies in American whiskey history. Elijah Craig is widely credited as the first distiller to age whiskey in charred oak barrels, a breakthrough that transformed clear distillate into the rich, amber spirit now recognized worldwide as bourbon. This innovation earned him lasting recognition as the “Father of Bourbon.”
Distilled, aged, and bottled in Kentucky, Elijah Craig Small Batch is crafted from a traditional bourbon mash bill of 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% malted barley. The whiskey is aged between 8 and 12 years in #3 char new American oak barrels, allowing deep interaction between spirit and wood while preserving balance and approachability.
Flavor Profile and Craftsmanship
Elijah Craig Small Batch delivers a warm and inviting profile shaped by extended aging and classic barrel char. On the nose and palate, notes of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak are complemented by signature warm baking spice and subtle smoke. The rye component adds structure and gentle spice, while the corn provides sweetness and body. The result is a well-rounded bourbon with depth, consistency, and a smooth, satisfying character.
Award-Winning Bourbon
This expression has earned widespread critical acclaim, including Best Small Batch Bourbon honors and a Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. It has also received a 93-point rating with an “Excellent, Highly Recommended” designation from the Ultimate Spirits Competition. These accolades reinforce Elijah Craig Small Batch’s reputation as one of the most respected bourbons in its category.
