Elijah Craig 18 Year Old Single Barrel

This 18 year old single barrel Elijah Craig was matured in a single charred oak barrel.

Barreled on 25th of July 1997 from barrel #4146.

The Elijah Craig brand is produced by Heaven Hill, and this single barrel originates from an unusual period between 1996 when the old ditillery burned down, and 1999 when the current distillery at Bernheim was purchased. Heaven Hill survived during this period by procuriung barrels from Brown Forman and Jim Beam, and this was likely one of those.
