Portrait: What makes the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof special.
The distillery named after the Baptist preacher Elijah Craig (1743-1808) is located in Bardstown, Kentucky.
The Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is usually bottled three times a year in small batches.
Each batch is bottled with a unique age statement, including the month and year of the youngest cask in the batch.
The alcohol content varies with each bottling.
The batch number on the label contains information specific to each batch. The first letter indicates the order of release for that year, starting with "A" for the first bottling in the year. The first digit after the letter stands for the month of bottling - e.g. "1" for January. The third and fourth digits indicate the year - e.g. "23" for the year 2023.
Tasting Notes: This is how the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof tastes like
- Nose: rich aromas of caramel and roasted oak, followed by fruity aromas of ripe apples and oranges
- Palate: rich notes of fresh vanilla, caramel again, butterscotch together with spicy notes of black pepper and cinnamon
- Finish: long finish - all aromas and flavors are present

Sehr gut, sehr schnelle Lieferung
Einfach richtig lecker!
Ein Klassiker, gut und günstig. Wie lange wird es den 12jährigen noch geben?
Hervorragender Bourbon mit Age Statement
Alles Bestens!
Der erste Bourbon, der mich vollständig überzeugt hat. Stoffig, kräftig und rund.
Hat weder den Klebstoffgeruch noch die aufdringliche Süße , die mich an vielen anderen Bourbons abstößt. Ganz klare Empfehlung!
Gute Preis/Leistung
Langanhaltend, warm, süß und komplex ohne die manchmal durchkommende "Kleber" Note wie bei manch anderen Bourbons.
Einer der beste Bourbon, den ich bisher getrunken habe mit einem
spitzen Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, sollte jeder Bourbon Fan mal probiert haben.
Powerful, lots of toasted oak and vanilla. Rather straight forward despite it's age. Opens up with a splash of water, though.
