Description:
Solid age statements like this Elijah Craig 18yo bourbon whiskey are far and few between in the bourbon/whiskey world and require some serious finesse and know-how to carry this revered liquid for almost two decades in oak. Bottled solely from the contents of a single barrel, this expression of Elijah Craig is chewy and incredibly complex, even at 45% ABV.
With a purported Mashbill of 78% Corn, 12% Malted Barley, 10% Rye, it’s a true Bourbon whiskey for the avid drinker and/or collector having won countless awards and regularly listed as a top choice by those who appreciate a well-aged Southern tipple.
Interesting fact.

Since then, Elijah Craig 18yo single barrel has garnered some of the industry’s most prestigious accolades including: Whiskey of the year and Double Gold in the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
