Elijah Craig 15-Year-Old Single Barrel Bourbon Tribute

The Peak of Aged Single Barrel Craft: 108 Proof for Ultimate Complexity

Heaven Hill Distillery's Elijah Craig has announced the launch of its first Single Barrel 15-Year-Old Bourbon. Bottled at 108 Proof, this new release is the oldest expression in the brand's single barrel lineup, crafted for those seeking rich and complex flavors, reflecting the distillery's long-standing commitment to high-quality maturation.

Master Distiller Conor O’Driscoll noted that this single barrel release pursues exceptional depth and character, with the alcohol content further enhancing the spirit's natural complexity to create a bold yet balanced style. Described as both daring and elegant, this whiskey is perfect for slow sipping or deep tasting, showcasing the brand's generational heritage.

The flavor profile features aromas of dark fruit, figs, and rose, with a palate of nuts and toasted oak, leading to a finish of crème brûlée and clove. The 54% ABV pays tribute to May 4, 1964, when the US Congress officially recognized Bourbon as a distinctive product of the United States, establishing the core standard of maturation in new charred oak barrels.

The brand is named after Reverend Elijah Craig, known as the "Father of Bourbon," who pioneered the use of charred barrels for aging whiskey. With this 15-year-old single barrel addition, Heaven Hill Distillery further expands its portfolio, which includes Small Batch and Barrel Proof, ensuring the legacy of Bourbon whiskey continues.
