Produced by Heaven Hill Distillery, Elijah Craig 23 Year Single Barrel is one of the most legendary and elusive bourbons ever released. Aged for an extraordinary twenty three years, this expression represents the absolute upper limit of barrel maturation in Kentucky bourbon, with only a handful of barrels ever deemed suitable for bottling.

Officially discontinued, Elijah Craig 23 Year is no longer produced and exists only on the secondary and collector markets. Each bottle comes from a single barrel and captures an intensely oak driven yet remarkably balanced profile that has made it one of the most talked about ultra aged bourbons in history. This is a true museum level bottle, sought after by serious collectors and long time Elijah Craig enthusiasts.
