일라이저 크레이그 12년 배럴 프루프 배치 A122

Elijah Craig, a Baptist preacher and pioneer in the 18th century, is credited with being the first to age whiskey in charred oak barrels after a fortuitous fire at his mill. Heaven Hill Distillery in Kentucky continues his legacy, crafting each bottle of Elijah Craig Bourbon using his original methods—combining local corn and grains with limestone-rich Kentucky spring water for fermentation, then distilled and aged.

The aroma greets you with caramel and toasted oak, accented by hints of apple and orange. On the palate, rich vanilla, caramel, and butterscotch come through, with a subtle kick of black pepper and cinnamon. The finish is well-rounded, showcasing all these flavors before fading slowly, leaving a lingering coolness.
