Uncut, straight from the barrel without chill filtering, the nose, taste, and finish created by 12 years of aging are preserved in their simplest form. At full barrel proof, you can enjoy Elijah Craig much the same way our Master Distillers do when they sample straight from the barrel in our Kentucky rickhouses. Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is a bold and honest expression of what charred oak barrel aging can do for Bourbon, from the man who originated the process.

Not as smooth as what I thought it would be. This was my first time to try.

An excellent choice
I gave a 4 star for the bourbon because all in, shipping was 1/3rd the cost of the bottle. But the bottle by itself was nothing short of beautiful. Tasty, smooth, so flavorful. These batches will definitely remain part of my own personal stock for me and my fellow bourbonites as a delicious pour.

Excellent offering
I’m a huge Heaven Hill fan, especially their barrel proof offerings. The ECBP B522 batch is excellent! The nose has a lot of vanilla and carmelized brown sugar notes as well as some alcohol burn (it’s high proof so…). The flavor and mouth feel are amazing. Very oily (a good thing) with long lasting flavor and some expected burn at the end. I love it
