Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon 94 Proof – 47%

In 1789, Elijah Craig was the first distiller to age his whiskey in new, charred oak barrels. Some claim that an accidental fire charred his barrels and changed the whiskey inside. Others say he stored his whiskey in former sugar barrels and was impressed by how the charring improved the taste.

However it happened, Elijah Craig knew he had discovered something great. He further refined the process of charring the barrels and imparted a smooth, rich flavour to the spirit that later became known as bourbon. 250 years later, he is still known as the father of bourbon
