Elijah Craig Single Barrel 18YR 750mL

Eighteen years in oak give Elijah Craig Single Barrel a mature, wood-led character, with each bottling drawn from one selected barrel. Vanilla, mint and chocolate sit over a rich, nutty palate.

Key details

• Origin: Kentucky, USA
• Single-barrel bourbon
• Aged 18 years
• Matured in charred oak

Flavor profile

Aged oak and spiced vanilla meet mint and chocolate. Honeyed, nutty flavors turn toward toasted wood and char, finishing with vanilla and pepper.

Pairing & serving

Serve neat first, adding a little water if desired. Pair with roasted pecans or a small piece of dark chocolate rather than an intensely sweet dessert.

After opening & when to enjoy

Keep upright, tightly closed, away from heat and sunlight. The spirit is ready to enjoy and does not continue barrel aging in the bottle. After opening, aim to enjoy within about a year for the freshest aroma, especially as the bottle empties.
