Elijah Craig Small Batch 750ml

Elijah Craig is named for the Baptist minister from Kentucky who, according to legend, was the first person to age bourbon in charred oak barrels — effectively inventing the style as we know it. Whether the history holds up or not, the whiskey absolutely does: rich caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and a long warming finish that consistently punches above its price. Heaven Hill's most celebrated value expression and a permanent fixture on best-buy bourbon lists.
