Elijah Craig 18 Year Bourbon

Created: Heaven Hill Distillery Aged 18 years Matured in oak barrels Hints of chocolate Taste This refined 18 year old bourbon is a tribute to master distiller Elijah Craig. First released in 1994, this limited-edition spirit is crafted at the esteemed Heaven Hill Distillery. With a mash bill of 78% corn, 12% malted barley, and 10% rye, this bourbon boasts a complex profile of strong leather and oak, balanced with spiced vanilla. The palate reveals undertones of mint layered with chocolate, finishing with a long, lingering burst of honey, toasted wood, and char. History This premium bourbon is part of a distinguished series dedicated to the reverend Elijah Craig, a pioneer in bourbon making. In 1789, an accidental fire charred some barrels, revolutionizing the whisky's flavor. Recognizing the potential, Craig perfected this technique, earning the title "The father of bourbon." The unique spirit is bottled from single barrels aged for eighteen years, making it a must-have for any bourbon connoisseur. Produced at the family-owned Heaven Hill Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, it shares its heritage with other notable brands like Henry McKenna and Evan Williams. Please drink responsibly. You must be at least 21 years old to enjoy alcoholic beverages.
