Elijah Craig 20 Year Old Single Barrel Bourbon (1991 Release) is one of the rarest and most historic extra-aged expressions ever released by Heaven Hill. Distilled in the early 1970s and bottled in 1991, this remarkable bourbon showcases the distillery’s unmatched ability to balance extended maturation with elegance—a feat few Kentucky producers attempted at the time.

Bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV), this 20-year-old single barrel offers an extraordinary drinking experience. The nose greets you with a deep bouquet of toasted oak, dark caramel, vanilla, and leather, accented by notes of dried fruit and subtle spice. On the palate, it is bold yet refined, unveiling layers of toffee, aged oak, tobacco, cocoa, and warming spice, with hints of honey and molasses. The finish is remarkably long and contemplative, leaving lasting impressions of charred oak, sweet vanilla, and lingering spice.

As one of the earliest ultra-aged bourbons to reach the market, the 1991 Elijah Craig 20 Year Old is not only a rare collectible but also a piece of American whiskey history. Its scarcity and pedigree make it an essential centerpiece for serious bourbon enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.
