Elijah Craig, known as the 'Father of Bourbon,' pioneered the use of charred oak barrels, enhancing his whiskey into a rich amber bourbon with intense wood flavors. Elijah Craig Small Batch, crafted in Kentucky using a traditional mashbill of 78% Corn, 10% Rye, and 12% Malted Barley, is aged for 8 to 12 years in #3 char new American oak barrels. This process yields a bourbon with a signature warm spice and subtle smoke flavor, earning accolades such as 'Best Small Batch Bourbon,' a Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and a 93-point 'Excellent, Highly Recommended' rating at the Ultimate Spirits Competition.
