Elijah Craig Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is an award-winning expression that pays tribute to Rev. Elijah Craig, often credited with pioneering the use of charred oak barrels in bourbon-making. Crafted from extra-aged, hand-selected barrels, this bourbon is matured in Level 3 charred American oak casks, which release caramelised sugars, wood smoke, and layers of spice. Bottled at 47% ABV, Small Batch delivers a perfectly balanced profile that has earned it global recognition and a loyal following.

What Makes Elijah Craig Stand Out?

Produced by Heaven Hill Distillery in Kentucky, Elijah Craig is named after the Baptist minister often credited with inventing barrel-aging in charred oak. This innovation gave Kentucky bourbon its signature flavour and has shaped the whiskey industry ever since.

Today, Elijah Craig Small Batch continues that legacy, consistently recognised at international competitions for its rich flavour, approachable style, and historic significance. It remains one of the best examples of a premium Kentucky Straight Bourbon at an accessible price point.
