Elijah Craig 18 Year Single Barrel Bourbon

One of the oldest age stated single barrel bourbons released on a regular basis, Elijah Craig 18 Year is a testament to patience, precision, and careful barrel selection. Each bottle is drawn from a single barrel and bottled at 90 proof, allowing the individuality of the cask to shine while showcasing the remarkable depth that nearly two decades of maturation can achieve.

The nose opens with rich caramel, toasted oak, vanilla, and orange peel layered over leather and baking spice. On the palate, toffee, roasted nuts, dark honey, and seasoned oak unfold with remarkable balance, joined by hints of dried fruit and warm cinnamon. Despite its extended aging, the whiskey remains elegant rather than overly tannic, finishing with lingering oak, spice, and a refined sweetness that continues to evolve long after the sip.

For a pairing that highlights its mature elegance, pour Elijah Craig 18 alongside our Beef Bourguignon Sliders. The whiskey's seasoned oak and caramelized sweetness complement the slow braised beef and rich cheeses, while its citrus and baking spice brighten the focaccia and keep the pairing balanced. Together, they create a rich, comforting combination that feels refined without being heavy.
