Kentucky - Back in the 1700s a Baptist minister by that name actually invented the process of aging whiskey in charred oak barrels. Today, this super premium small batch bourbon remains one of the finest on the market. Elijah Craig Small Batch is a burnished copper color. The nose is delightfully complex with notes of vanilla bean, sweet fruit, and fresh mint. Smooth and warm; pleasantly woody with accents of spice, smoke and nutmeg. The finish is long, sweet and slightly toasty. Best served neat.
