Elijah Craig Private Single Barrel, Barrel Proof Bourbon (120.2 prf) 750ml

Description
Elijah Craig Private Single Barrel, Barrel Proof Bourbon (120.2 proof) opens with bold layers of toasted oak, dark caramel, vanilla bean, and warm baking spice. The palate is remarkably balanced for its proof, showing rich notes of brown sugar, molasses, and charred oak up front followed by dark fruit tones of black cherry, fig, and date. A secondary wave of cocoa, espresso, and subtle rye heat leads into an exceptionally long finish marked by lingering spice, smoked caramel, and a final touch of bright charred citrus.

Producer
Produced by Heaven Hill in Bardstown, Kentucky, this private barrel selection is drawn from a single barrel chosen for standout depth and maturity. Heaven Hill’s extensive rickhouse inventory and traditional sour mash methods allow each barrel proof release to show its own distinct personality. Bottled without dilution, this expression represents the pure character shaped over years of slow aging in Kentucky’s seasonal climate.

Cocktail Suggestion
This bourbon is best enjoyed neat or with a single cube, which opens its layers of spice, caramel, and dark fruit without muting its complexity. If used in a cocktail, it makes a powerful Old Fashioned that highlights its rich oak and warm, lingering finish.
