2024 Batch
Bottled solely from the contents of one expertly chosen barrel, 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.
Bourbon-making is an exercise in patience & perseverance. Out of the millions of barrels aging in Kentucky, only a small fraction are allowed to age as long as 18-Year-Old.
Each single barrel is then individually dumped & bottled. The barrel number & bottling date is handwritten on the label.
Tasting Notes:
Colour: Warm, deep leather.
Aroma: Aged oak, spiced vanilla, with notes of mint and chocolate.
Taste: Richly textured nutty and semisweet, initial bursts of honey give way to toasted wood and pleasant char.
Finish: Lively and engaging, then lingers with vanilla and pepper.
"Elijah Craig 18 Year Old Single Barrel Bourbon is everything you could want from a high-aged Kentucky bourbon." - Jordan Moskal, Breaking Bourbon
"The aged influenced flavor of oak doesn’t overpower and is beautifully complimented with barrel influenced notes of vanilla, caramel and a touch of honey graham cracker. The mouthfeel was, to my surprise, velvety and elegant especially for a 90 proof bourbon. I just loved ultra aged bourbon and it is something that cannot be duplicated with anything other than time in a barrel." - Debonair Gentlemen
"The vanilla and caramel flavours are expected but charred oak plows through without overwhelming the whiskey’s delivery. It’s actually soft for an old bourbon. This slow sipper has a long finish that spikes midway with hard spices and a musty twang." - Blair Phillips, Distiller (92 Points)
"It tastes almost like an Old Fashioned, meaning distinct orange peel and cherry notes intertwined with the vanilla and caramel. The long finish offers vanilla, oak and orange peel." - Kara Newman, Wine Enthusiast (95 Points)
"Well-rounded, with lovely caramel, creamy vanilla, toasted oak, nougat, and candied fruit, along with a peppering of cinnamon and subtle mint. Pleasant, lingering finish. Great structure with seamless flavors." - John Hansell, Whisky Advocate (92 Points)
