Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey 70cl

Named after the Reverend Elijah Craig who is thought to be the first person to use charred barrels to age his whiskey- which is now part of the law for Bourbon and leads to the rich sweet style of whiskey that we know and love today. This is fantastic Kentucky Straight Bourbon made by Heaven Hill Distillers a company founded by the Shapira brothers at the end of prohibition when members of the Beam family approached them with a proposal to build a new whiskey distillery. To this day Heaven Hill is owned and operated by the Shapira family with the Beams (Parker & Craig Beam) in charge of whiskey making. Including their flagship brands Evan Williams Bourbon and Rittenhouse Rye Heaven Hill make a wider range of American whiskey styles than any other major producer and also make more ‘Bottled in Bond’ whiskies than any producer.
