Elijah Craig is a Kentucky straight bourbon produced by Heaven Hill Distillery, one of the major family-owned names in American whiskey. The brand takes its name from the Reverend Elijah Craig, a figure long associated in bourbon lore with the use of charred oak barrels, though the broader history is more complex than the legend suggests.
The core Elijah Craig Small Batch is bottled at 47% ABV and delivers a classic Heaven Hill profile: caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, warm spice and a gentle charred note. It's a solid, accessible bourbon with enough structure for sipping neat, but enough balance to work well in traditional whiskey cocktails.
The range has grown beyond Small Batch to include Barrel Proof releases, Toasted Barrel, rye whiskeys and older single-barrel expressions. Throughout the line-up, Elijah Craig remains characterised by mature oak, generous sweetness and a firm Kentucky character, sitting comfortably between everyday bourbon and more serious enthusiast bottlings.
