Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch A120 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 12 Year Old
In stock
Uncut, straight from the barrel without chill filtering, the nose, taste, and finish created by 12 years of aging are preserved in their simplest form. At full barrel proof, you can enjoy Elijah Craig much the same way our Master Distillers do when they sample straight from the barrel in our Kentucky rickhouses. Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is a bold and honest expression of what charred oak barrel aging can do for Bourbon, from the man who originated the process.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery mahogany tones and a honey-gold glow.
Nose
Uncut and unapologetic, the nose pours from the glass with charred oak at its core. Vanilla bean, toffee, and caramel weave through a chorus of baking spices—cinnamon, clove, and a whisper of black pepper. Dark chocolate and toasted sugar deepen the richness, while the barrel-proof intensity keeps the bouquet bold and concentrated.
Palate
Bold and unapologetic on the palate, this bourbon coats the tongue with dense, viscous oak, vanilla, and caramel. Spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—ripple through a rich brown-sugar sweetness, with dark fruit in reserve. Full-bodied and warming, it delivers a long, spicy finish of charred oak and coffee.
Finish
Long, bold finish of charred oak, vanilla and caramel, layered with warm spice—cinnamon and clove—while dark fruit and cocoa drift away, leaving a lasting, refined warmth.
