Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon Whisky [700ML]

Description

Looking for a bourbon that bridges Kentucky tradition with modern small-batch excellence?

Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey represents the pinnacle of Heaven Hill’s distilling expertise, honoring the legendary “Father of Bourbon” who pioneered charred oak barrel aging. This award-winning expression has earned Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and 95 points from Wine Enthusiast, establishing its place among premium American whiskeys. Like our The Irishman 12 Years Single Malt, this represents exceptional craftsmanship in aged spirits, while offering the distinctive character that sets Kentucky bourbon apart from Scottish cask strength expressions.
