Before the term “Small Batch” existed, the Master Distillers at Elijah Craig hand-selected the ideal number of barrels to craft a bourbon with a rich balance of flavours, full body, warm spice, and subtle smokiness.
This whiskey was born out of the producers’ decision to discontinue the 12 Year Old expression and create this expression to take its place. It manages to maintain the incredibly high quality that Elijah Craig is known for, including the delicious core of cooked apple drizzled in honey notes.
Overall, a favourite of Bourbon connoisseurs and casual whiskey fans alike.
Enjoy Elijah Craig Small Batch neat, on the rocks or as part of a whiskey-forward cocktail like an Old Fashioned.
Producer’s Tasting Notes
Colour: Burnished copper.
Aroma: Delightfully complex with notes of vanilla bean, sweet fruit, and fresh mint. Honeycomb, fresh cedar, marmalade and some spicy cardamom seed.
Taste: Smooth and warm; pleasantly woody with accents of spice, smoke, and nutmeg. Baked apples with a dusting of cinnamon, followed by fresh honey and cookie dough.
Finish: Long, sweet, and then slightly toasty. Lingering nutmeg and charred oak.
