Appearance: Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon displays a deep and inviting amber hue in the glass, a visual testament to its extended maturation in charred oak barrels.

Undertones of dried fruits and oak contribute to a captivating olfactory experience, promising a robust and rewarding tasting journey.

The oak influence is prominent, adding depth and sophistication to the bourbon. The high proof amplifies the full-bodied nature of the spirit, delivering an unapologetically intense and satisfying experience.

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof was introduced in 2013 and is released on an allocated basis three times per year: January, May, and September. Each release features a different proof and up until 2023, consisted of bourbon aged at least 12 years.The first letter of the batch number indicates which of that year's releases the bottle was a part of starting with "A", while the second digit is a number that determines the month of the year the bottle was released. The third and fourth digits indicate the year.
Under ruling 79-9 of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, a whiskey can only be called "barrel proof" if the bottling proof is not more than 1% ABV (2 degrees U.S. proof) lower than when the barrels were dumped at the end of the aging period.
The company is headquartered in Bardstown, Kentucky, and its distillery (called the Heaven Hill Bernheim distillery) is in Louisville, Kentucky.
Today, Heaven Hill Distillery preserves the Bourbon making traditions developed by Elijah Craig. Each bottle of our Bourbon is crafted with the same method used by Elijah over two hundred years ago: local corn and grains are milled and mixed with limestone-rich Kentucky spring water, then fermented and distilled.
