"Caramel, spice and baked bread with a curious bit of dill in the aroma, leading to classic caramel and sweet vanilla flavors plus fresh herbs on the long and pleasing finish."

Chairman's Trophy, 96 Points, Great Value - Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2023

"This is a show-stopper of a Bourbon with a complex bouquet of worn leather, buttered cornbread, toasted vanilla bean, white cherries. The palate shows dense layers of dried citrus fruit, cream pastries, and dried mint. Excellent sipping whiskey with a long, complex finish."

95 Points - Intl Wine & Spirits Competition 2023

" An exceptionally well-made example, delivering an intertwined aromatic display of rich caramel, dark honey and luxurious chocolate. Flavours of mahogany, ripe dark fruit and caramelised banana appear on the palate, framed beautifully by classy toasty oak and clove spice. Outstanding."

“Nose: There is a peppery pinch to the spicy nose, which fits perfectly with the dark brooding nature of the beast. The slightly singed toast acts as a perfect counter to the mint and orange rind. Really complex and tempting. Taste: Wow! Loads of everything. As you might expect from the nose. A deep, satin-smooth oak and burnt sugar backdrop allows the malt and rye to have a big say. Lots of vanilla, too. Finish: Here, as it dries, the corn comes into dominance. Some vanilla toffee, too. Comments: Magnificent stuff from Heaven Hill that really is worth hunting for.” - Jim Murray

Notes from the Maker:
Long before the term Small Batch even existed, our Master Distillers were hand-selecting just the right number of barrels to make Elijah Craig. This expertise and attention to detail give Elijah Craig Small Batch the right balance of rich flavor and full body. Each small batch carries a signature warm spice and subtle smoke flavor. A combination that belongs in any Bourbon fan’s regular rotation.

95 Points - Intl Wine & Spirits Competition 2023

"Furniture polish, mahogany, caramel and charred wood come together marvellously on the nose; before flavours of cinnamon spice, burnt honeycomb and maple on the palate. Amazingly complex and harmonious, with an impressive interplay between bitter oaky tones and sweetness. Divine!"

“Laden with pears, cinnamon, and graham cracker, here is a solid sipper that I could drink all day.”
