Experience the exceptional Elijah Craig 18 – a distinguished 18-year-old bourbon meticulously matured in a single new charred oak barrel. Barreled on 17th December 1981 at Bardstown Heaven Hill distillery. Barrel No. 1141.
In 1789, Elijah Craig became the first distiller to age his whiskey in new charred oak barrels. Some claim that an accidental fire charred his barrels and changed the whiskey inside. Others say he stored his whiskey in former sugar barrels and was impressed with how charring improved the flavour.
