Elijah Craig 11 Year Old Barrel Proof Uncut Straight From The Barrel Batch B524 (2024) US Import 75cl

*USA Exclusive - Maximum 1 per customer*

To sip Barrel Proof is to experience Bourbon in its purest form: uncut, straight from the barrel, and without chill filtering. Each bottle is hand labeled with its unique proof and batch number; but the nose, taste, and finish are pure Elijah Craig.

This was bottled in May 2024

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof was introduced in 2013 and is released on an allocated basis three times per year: January, May, and September. Each release features a different proof and up until 2023, consisted of bourbon aged at least 12 years. In mid-2023, Heaven Hill announced that they would remove Elijah Craig Barrel Proof’s 12 year age statement and instead now include an age statement that will vary per release.
Batch B524 is the second batch of 2024, and the fourth batch that does not carry the previous generic 12 year age statement, instead dialing directly into the batch exact age detailed down to the month. Previous specifically age stated batches were aged for 11 years and 5 months, 13 years and 7 months, and 10 years and 9 months, making the average age over the four specifically age stated Elijah Craig Barrel Proof batches released so far approximately 11 years and 9 months, just shy of the 12 year mark.

Batch B524 is traditionally inspired and bold, starting with a robust aroma of peppery oak, cigar box, raisin, and baking spices. Heavily charred oak, tobacco, graham cracker, and caramel emerge on the palate, which tones the intensity down a notch though it remains as potent as expected for the proof. Baking spices, caramel, and aged oak define the bourbon’s long, otherwise straightforward finish.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: “The nose will knock you off your feet. The palate is ridiculously viscous, with cinnamon candies, rye, barrel, roasted vanilla bean & chocolate.”

Palate: Rich vanilla, caramel, and butterscotch along with spices of black pepper & cinnamon at the back of the palate

Finish: Nicely layered showcasing all flavors, fades slowly then lingers as it cools

65.3% ABV
