New Booze: Elijah Craig 23-Year-Old Single Barrel Bourbon

Heaven Hill releases Elijah Craig 23-Year-Old Single Barrel Bourbon

Elijah Craig 23-Year-Old copyHeaven Hill Distilleries announces a new limited edition release of Elijah Craig 23-Year-Old Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.  

The new bottling follows up Elijah Craig 20-Year-Old Single Barrel, released in the Spring of 2012 and the Elijah Craig 21- Year-Old, released last Fall.  The new 23-Year-Old bottling will carry an average retail price of $199.99 for the 750ml size, and like last year’s 21-Year-Old will be in limited distribution in top metro markets. 

 The new Elijah Craig 23-Year-Old will be available in a three bottle case of 750ml bottles, at its traditional 90 proof (45% alcohol by volume) strength.

Barrels that age for that long on the highest floors of the rickhouse, where temperature extremes are greatest, can become too woody or tannic.  The barrels for Elijah Craig 23-Year-Old Single Barrel are drawn from the middle floors of the rickhouses, where the effects of long aging are mitigated by the more moderate temperature fluctuations.  This barrel selection is drawn from Heaven Hill’s inventory of over one million aging barrels.

Founded in 1934, Heaven Hill's portfolio of brands includes Evan Williams Bourbon; Larceny, Elijah Craig and Henry McKenna Bourbons, Burnett's Vodkas and Gin; Admiral Nelson’s and Blackheart Rums; HPNOTIQ Liqueur; The Christian Brothers Brandies; PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur; Domaine de Canton Ginger Liqueur; Lunazul Tequila; Cinerator Hot Cinnamon Flavored Whiskey and Rittenhouse Rye Whisky.
