Elijah Craig 12 year old is a true Small Batch premium Bourbon, and had that distinction before the term even existed. Bottled exclusively from a dumping of 100 barrels or less, the brand carries the name of Rev. Elijah Craig, the Baptist minister widely considered the 39Father of Bourbon.39 He discovered the method of making true Kentucky Bourbon when his stored his wares in barrels that had been charred in a fire. Elijah Craig is highly acclaimed it was awarded 39Best of the Best Bourbon39 in 2001 by Whisky Magazine and received a Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Whiskey expert Stuart MacLean Ramsay writes, 39Rich, full bodied and warming with sweet oak, caramel and rye flavors thick finish with notes of licorice and vanilla.39 Michael Jackson, Whisky Magazine writes, 39Nose Real bourbon vanilla, with a touch of candy store sweetness. Palate Firm, malty, sweet. Some malty fruitiness apricot. A suggestion of cilantro. Finish Licorice. Rooty. Comments Less structured than might be expected in a 12 year old, but a perilously drinkable, appetizing bourbon. Rating 7 39
