Great small batch whiskey from a truly craft distiller
Definitely my favorite bourbon – the 18 year old is worth the extra expense. We featured it on DrinkedIn a while back (http://drinkedin.net/bourbon/heaven-hill-elijah-craig) and every sip was worth it. Great bourbon!
hello!!!
i’m interested in your elijah craig if is still available you can let me know asap.
Great bourbon. This was a Christmas gift from my wife and it’s fantastic. You get a hint of vanilla on the nose and a very smooth, oakey taste. It goes down easy but has a bit of punch to it. I prefer it neat but a bit of water doesn’t hurt much. I would highly recommend it.
