Elijah Craig Small Batch is the signature Bourbon bearing the name of Rev. Elijah Craig, a Bourbon pioneer who is credited as the first distiller to age his whiskey in charred oak barrels. Long before the term Small Batch even existed, our Master Distillers were hand-selecting just the right number of barrels to make Elijah Craig. This expertise and attention to detail give Elijah Craig Small Batch the right balance of rich flavor and full body for a warm spice and subtle smoke flavor.
Whisky Advocate Review:
Somewhat closed on the nose, with plenty of oak and a hint of vanilla. The palate offers good depth with milk chocolate, pepper spice, and new oak. The finish is mid-length, with vanilla flan, dark chocolate, and a hint of black coffee. There’s a bit too much oak influence at times, but this one has some nice flavors on offer. A straightforward, go-to whiskey.
