Elijah Craig 23 Year Old Bourbon

Product Description

Elijah Craig 23 Year Old Bourbon

Elijah Craig 23 Year Old is an exceptionally mature Kentucky single-barrel bourbon released at 90 proof. More than two decades in new charred oak give each barrel a deeply developed profile centered on toasted honey, cocoa, pipe tobacco, citrus zest, mint, and drying oak. Because it is a single-barrel whiskey, individual bottles can show natural variation.

What Makes It Distinct

• Aged 23 years
• Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey
• Single-barrel release
• 90 proof (45% ABV)
• Selected by Heaven Hill

Tasting Notes

Nose: Fresh buttered popcorn, citrus zest, mature oak, vanilla, and caramel.
Palate: Toasted honey, cocoa, warm sweet pipe tobacco, and concentrated oak.
Finish: Long, dry, and satisfying with mint and lingering wood spice.

Food Pairings

Pair with dry-aged steak, roast duck, walnuts, aged cheddar, tobacco-spiced chocolate, pecan pie, or dark cocoa desserts.

Serving Suggestions

Serve neat and allow it to rest in the glass. Add only a few drops of water if needed; heavy dilution can mute the nuances of an older single barrel.
