Elijah Craig Barrel Proof

The Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is a full grade bourbon. Being a single cask, the bottles can have a different alcohol content, as well as a slightly different aromatic palette. That said, in all the versions we have had the opportunity to try, the consistency of this American whiskey is remarkable.

The history of this distillery dates back to the 19th century, when the reverend Elijah Craig gave life to the brand.
