An 18 year old single barrel bourbon named after the Reverend Elijah Craig, credited with discovering the benefits of aging bourbon in charred barrels.
This expression of Elijah Craig is the pinnacle of Bourbon craftsmanship. Bold, robust, and incredibly complex, 18-Year-Old presents a rare and unique opportunity to sip some of the oldest Bourbon in Kentucky.
Multi award winning, it is rare to see a bourbon over 15 years old!
Nose: A very complex bourbon with a wonderful interplay between sweetness and white-pepper spice, along with a pecan note from the wood.
Palate: After a cool entry, the bourbon warms mid-palate, but never overpowers. It has a nice thick mouth feel and a long finish that combines mint and a lingering sweetness.
Finish: When it comes to over-aged bourbon, the guys at Heaven Hill know how to pick ’em. This is one to savour neat – and, with its handsome packaging and blue/copper labeling, to admire on your bar.
