Elijah Craig Barrel Proof & Small Batch Bourbon Set

This set includes Elijah Craig Barrel Proof and Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon, offering a direct comparison between the brand’s uncut, full-strength release and its more balanced, everyday expression.

Both are built from the same foundation, but handled differently—one bottled straight from the barrel with no dilution, the other carefully blended for consistency and approachability.

Same origin. Completely different experience.

Why Buy This Elijah Craig Set

This bundle is built around contrast and control.

You’re getting:

• a barrel proof bourbon (uncut, unfiltered)
• a small batch bourbon (balanced and consistent)

It’s one of the clearest ways to understand how proof and blending impact flavor—without changing the core whiskey.

What’s Included

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof

Bottled uncut and without chill filtration, this is Elijah Craig in its most direct form. Aged for 12 years and released at full barrel proof, it preserves the full intensity of the barrel—just as it’s sampled in the rickhouse.

Expect a more concentrated, higher-proof experience with deeper flavor and a longer finish.

Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon

The flagship expression, crafted by blending a select number of barrels to create a consistent and approachable profile. Named after Reverend Elijah Craig, it reflects a traditional style with balanced notes of oak, sweetness, and spice.

This is the more accessible version—designed for regular drinking without sacrificing structure.

Tasting Comparison

Barrel Proof
Rich, dense, and high-proof with deep caramel, oak, and spice

Small Batch
Balanced caramel, vanilla, oak, and a smoother, more controlled finish

What Goes Best With This Set

Grilled steak

Roasted meats

Aged cheeses

Dark chocolate

The higher-proof Barrel Proof holds up to heavier foods, while Small Batch remains more versatile.
