Elijah Craig Releases 21-Year-Old Single Barrel Bourbon

 Elijah Craig said it released its 21-year-Old Single Barrel Bourbon. It will be exclusively available at the Heaven Hill Bourbon Experience (SRP: $299.99) starting June 14 in celebration of National Bourbon Day, with the brand expecting fans to begin lining up for the release event the night before in order to claim their bottle.

On the nose, Elijah Craig 21-Year-Old Single Barrel Bourbon evokes toasted oak, leather and complex spices. Tasting reveals notes of milk chocolate, toasted nuts and burnt caramel, while aged oak, molasses, barrel char and peppery spices bring it to a rich finish.

Bottled at 94 proof, the latest Elijah Craig release comes packed in a custom wooden display case reflecting the craftsmanship of barrel charring that earned the brand's namesake the moniker "Father of Bourbon."

"Elijah Craig 21-Year-Old Single Barrel Bourbon is a sophisticated, more mature sibling to our vaunted Single Barrel collection and becomes our oldest age statement currently available," says Conor O'Driscoll, Master Distiller at Elijah Craig Bourbon. "Our fans have been waiting for a new 20-year-plus-aged release, and this won't disappoint. Expect the signature warm spice that Elijah Craig is known for, with new layers that reveal the transformative power of extended maturation."
