Elijah Craig Barrel Proof 138.8 Batch 10 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 12 Year Old
Out of stock
A Kentucky straight bourbon from the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof series, Batch 10 was bottled in 2016 at a natural cask strength of 69.4% ABV (138.8 proof) after 12 years of maturation in charred American oak barrels.
The Barrel Proof releases are bottled uncut and unfiltered, showcasing the distillery’s full-bodied style. Extended ageing in heavily charred oak brings deep caramel and toffee sweetness, vanilla, toasted oak and baking spice, with the high strength delivering a bold, concentrated character balanced by the richness developed over long maturation.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-bronze highlights and a warm mahogany edge.
Nose
Intense and inviting, the nose opens with caramel and toffee lifted by vanilla and charred oak. Spices—cinnamon and clove—emerge alongside roasted coffee and a whisper of dark chocolate. Oak-forward sweetness lingers, a resinous warmth that hints at long barrel aging and the bold, uncut character of this high-proof bourbon.
Palate
Powerful on the palate, this uncut, cask-strength bourbon coats with a voluptuous, oily sweetness. Deep caramel and toffee braid with vanilla and toasted oak, while baking spices—cinnamon, clove, black pepper—linger long and warming. Rich, full-bodied and intensely concentrated, with a supple, viscous texture that carries the warmth of 138.8 proof into a lingering finish.
Finish
Long, uncut finish dominated by caramel and toffee sweetness, braided with vanilla and toasted oak. Baking-spice warmth builds a bold, peppery tail that lingers, rich and velvety, slowly fading to a sweet vanilla-caramel echo.
