Matured for a full 12 years in charred oak barrels, this bourbon delivers a bold yet refined profile that defined Elijah Craig as the “Father of Bourbon.” On the nose, expect inviting aromas of toffee, vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak, layered with hints of dried fruit and spice. The palate is rich and full-bodied, showcasing flavors of dark chocolate, honey, cinnamon, charred oak, and a touch of leather, balanced by a velvety mouthfeel. The finish is long, warming, and complex, with lingering notes of oak and sweet spice.
As a pre-fire bottling, this expression holds historical significance, offering both exceptional flavor and collectible value. It’s a whiskey that bridges heritage, resilience, and craftsmanship—a true treasure for any serious bourbon collection.
