Small batch - 12 years old. Perfection takes time. And, Elijah Craig has made it worth the wait. Twelve years in the making. Fresh limestone spring water. And, a special yeast recipe that has been a family secret for generations. These are just some of the reasons why Elijah Craig - a true Small Batch Bourbon before the term even existed - is considered one of the world's greatest bourbons. 94 proof. 47% alc/vol. Distilled and bottled by the Elijah Craig Distillery Co., Bardstown, KY 40004.
