BARREL PROOF

Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

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.

Whisky of the Year

Whisky Advocate
2017

CELEBRATED BY
EXPERTS. ENJOYED BY
ALL.

"It is a mouth-filling, deeply satisfying whiskey, amazingly palatable even at full proof, that will delight many drinkers at a great price. Virtues we can all agree on."

“Few brands afford such an easy source of batch-vs-batch comparisons as Elijah Craig Barrel Proof.”

"Barrel Proof is definitely worth a try for a blast of high-proof whiskey and 12-year-old age statement."

"A sip of Elijah Craig brings forth phenomenal flavors and glamorous aromas. It's Bourbon at its apex."

“An instant classic… A120 is stellar. This version gives me what I seek in whiskey, and what I find lacking in a lot of bourbons. I like the cigar and ashy palate it provides.”
