Bottle is as pictured the old bottling which has now been discontinued

The lower floors of our rickhouses provide slower, gentler aging. There, our Master Distillers sample barrels for multi-layered taste and aroma profiles. Among their findings, they select those that meet their strict nosing and taste criteria to become Elijah Craig 23-Year-Old Single Barrel.

This unique Bourbon has endured more than ninety Kentucky seasons, creating a distinctive aroma and taste that’s definitely worth the wait.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Buttered popcorn, with light citrus notes.

Palate: Toasted honey, cocoa and warm, sweet pipe tobacco.

Finish: Long, dry and satisfying with a sprig of mint.

"It's the bourbon equivalent of seeing a seasoned performer, like Jerry Lee Lewis, in their later years. It still has all the showmanship of a great bourbon - fruit, caramel richness, vanilla, leather and lots of spice - but perhaps not as vigorous it was in its younger years, and slightly musty as to be expected. Still, it's way better than something younger and immature. And with just a chip of ice might still have a few good moves on the palate." - Amanda Schuster, Distiller
