Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey, 70 cl
Regular price £44.49
Elijah Craig has long been a favourite bourbon of many whiskey enthusiasts - to the point where their stocks of 12 year old bourbon have been under a lot of pressure. The producers made the decision to discontinue the 12 Year Old expression and create this expression to take its place. It manages to maintain the incredibly high quality that Elijah Craig is known for, including the delicious core of cooked apple drizzled in honey notes. This expression has been well received, taking home not one but two San Francisco World Spirits Competition Double Gold medals! Read more.

Description
Elijah Craig, owned by the brilliant Heaven Hill, is one of the most well-known bourbon brands around the world. The name itself harks back to Reverend Elijah Craig, whom has been said to be the inventor of bourbon as we known it. Bourbon (as we know it) must be matured in new, charred oak casks. Many people claim that the first documented case of this happening was at Craig’s distillery around 1789 (Reverends can have distilleries if they want - everyone needs a hobby). Some people say there was a fire, some barrels got charred, Craig used the barrels anyway and found that he enjoyed the impact the charred casks had on the whiskey. Like a lot of great discoveries, bourbon might have been an accident.
The core release from the Elijah Craig range is the Elijah Craig Small Batch. They also regularly release single barrel bottlings, which are much loved here at MoM Towers.

Bourbon Old Fashioned Recipe
The Old Fashioned is one of the earliest whiskey cocktails in modern record, thought to be developed in the early 1800s. Though countless modern variations have popped up in the centuries since, the classic Old Fashioned is understood as a simple combination of whiskey (usually bourbon or rye), sugar and bitters. Celebrate America’s “Native Spirit” on National Bourbon Day – June 14 There is something about bourbon that’s captured global attention. Some say the rise in bourbon sales is due to the growth of small batch and single barrel bourbon in the 1990s, while others say it has to do with the resurgence in popularity of hard-liquor swilling characters and settings on television shows such as Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire. Whatever the reason, you’ll want to raise a glass of the sweetened amber spirit in a delicious Bourbon Old Fashioned on June 14 as we celebrate the splendor of this great whiskey on National Bourbon Day!
