Product description

Elijah Craig is credited as the first distiller to age his whiskey in charred oak barrels, earning his place in history as the 'Father of Bourbon.' The charred barrel transformed the clear liquid inside into an intense amber whiskey made rich with the flavors of the wood which we now recognize as Bourbon. Elijah Craig Small Batch is distilled, aged, and bottled in Kentucky from a traditional Bourbon mashbill of 78% Corn, 10% Rye and 12% Malted Barley and then aged for 8 to 12 years in #3 char new American oak barrels. The result of each Small Batch is a signature warm spice and subtle smoke flavor. Winner of "Best Small Batch Bourbon" and Double Gold medal at San Francisco World Spirits Competition and a 93 Point, "Excellent, Highly Recommended" rating at the Ultimate Spirits Competition

    I just bought my first bottle and I tell you it is one of the smoothest bourbons I have had. Will definitely buy it again. If you haven't tried it you need to.

    At a reasonable price but yet gentle like in packing a punch. The secret, let it breathe on the straight rocks. Enjoying it for Father's Day - His Holy Eminence. Must go on one's bucket list.

    I have tried many different, names, brands and price categories. Just before cv19 hit, I saw this 1789 Small Batch on the shelf at my local "packie". (Yes, I'm in New England) I love the smooth taste and have stopped "shopping around"...I've found my match! I've bought hundreds of bottles to share, gift or personally consume since I discovered this Gem!

    I spotted a lone bottle on the shelf at my local liquor store and said your mine. I will never turn back. The flavor and richness of this Bourbon is outstanding it goes so well over ice or in a mixer how can one discriminate. If you have not tried this then you have no idea what your missing!

FAQs

Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon is made of a blend of select whiskeys, each aged between 8 and 12 years. Whiskey historians will note that this was not always the case — up until early 2016, Elijah Craig included a statement on their labeling proclaiming a 12-year aging time. They dropped this in favor of a No Age Statement, though you can be certain that their whiskeys will all receive between eight and a dozen years in the barrel.
The obvious way to enjoy the subtleties of Elijah Craig Small Batch is to sip it neat, but there are plenty of ways to take it further. A time-honored staple (and one that Elijah Craig is particularly well suited for) is the Old Fashioned. Combine a quarter-ounce of simple syrup, 3 dashes of bitters, and Elijah Craig Small Batch in a mixing glass and stir it until it’s chilled. Then strain it over a single large ice cube into a double old-fashioned glass. An orange swath and a brandied cherry make excellent garnishes.
