Elijah Craig Astor Barrel 10yr Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Regarded as the 'Father of Bourbon,' Elijah Craig is credited with popularizing the use of new charred oak barrels for the aging of Bourbon. Now a requisite for the category, it is unarguably one of the most distinctive aspects of any Bourbon. With our ongoing series of exclusive single barrel selections with the brand we strive for that perfect balance of the sweet fruity notes of apricot, summer peach and apples the high corn mash delivers countered by the deep, resinous spicy oak backbone this brand so excels at. This barrel was aged for 10yrs in Rickhouse N on the 3rd floor prior to bottling. Barrel No.6049933.
