Elijah Craig 12-year-old Bourbon is a true Small
Batch premium Bourbon, and had that distinction
before the term even existed. Bottled exclusively
from a dumping of 100 barrels or less, the brand
carries the name of Rev. Elijah Craig, the Baptist
minister widely considered the "Father of
Bourbon." He discovered the method of making
true Kentucky Bourbon when his stored his wares
in barrels that had been charred in a fire. Elijah
Craig is highly acclaimed - it was awarded "Best
of the Best Bourbon" in 2001 by Whisky Magazine
and received a Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco
World Spirits Competition. Whiskey expert Stuart
MacLean Ramsay writes, "Rich, full bodied
and warming with sweet oak, caramel and rye flavors;
thick finish with notes of licorice and vanilla."
- Elijah Craig was judged "Best of the
Best" in the Premium Bourbons category in
Whisky Magazine's Best of the Best 2001 Tasting.
The judging included three panels of 63 whisk(e)y
experts from around the world.
- Elijah Craig was awarded a Double Gold medal
at the 2000 San Francisco World Spirits Competition,
one of only two Bourbons to do so among over
20 entrants.
- Elijah Craig received a Silver Medal in the
Wine & Spirits International - 2001 International
Spirits Challenge.
