Elijah Craig Barrel Proof: Uncut, Unfiltered, and Uncompromising
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is the boldest expression in the Elijah Craig range — bottled straight from the barrel, without chill filtering or dilution. Produced by Heaven Hill Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, each batch is aged 12 years and released at natural cask strength, typically ranging between 60–68% ABV. This batch is at 65%.
This bourbon is unapologetically full-flavoured. On the nose the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is full of dark caramel, toasted oak, vanilla, and cinnamon. The palate is big and intense, with notes of butterscotch, baking spice, brown sugar, charred oak, and dark chocolate. Despite the high proof, it’s remarkably balanced, delivering powerful flavour with surprising smoothness. The long, warming finish offers lingering spice, leather, and toasted nuts.
What makes Elijah Craig Barrel Proof so good is its consistency, value, and complexity. Each batch offers a unique character, but all stay true to the Heaven Hill style — bold, rich, and deeply satisfying. It’s beloved by bourbon enthusiasts and collectors for its craftsmanship, transparency, and aged quality at a fair price. Whether you enjoy it neat or with a splash of water, this is a powerhouse pour that showcases what truly great barrel-proof bourbon should be.
