Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Uncut Batch No A124 750 ML
About this bottle
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch No. A124 is Heaven Hill's cask-strength bourbon, bottled uncut and unfiltered straight from the barrel at 119 proof. Each batch of Barrel Proof carries its own strength and character, and A124 leans into deep caramel and dark oak, with baking spice, vanilla, and a wave of heat up front that settles into a long, warming finish. Heaven Hill distills and ages it in Bardstown, Kentucky, in the same rickhouses behind the standard Elijah Craig line, but this series skips proofing down before bottling, so what's in the glass is exactly what came out of the barrel. It suits bourbon drinkers who want full intensity and don't mind doing their own dilution to taste.
How to drink Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch A124
At 119 proof this one needs water — a few drops at a time opens up the caramel and spice without flattening it, or pour it over one large cube if you want a slower, colder route to the same place. Neat is fine for a first taste, but most drinkers find the sweet spot a notch or two below full strength.

Questions about this bottle
Does Elijah Craig Barrel Proof need water?
Yes — at 119 proof (59.5% ABV) for Batch A124, most drinkers add a few drops of water or pour it over a large ice cube to bring out the caramel and spice without losing the bourbon's structure.
What cocktails work well with Elijah Craig Barrel Proof?
Its high proof makes it a favorite for a bourbon-forward Old Fashioned or Manhattan, where it stands up to ice and vermouth instead of getting diluted out.
What does 'barrel proof' mean?
It means the bourbon is bottled at the proof it comes out of the barrel, without adding water to bring it down to a standard 80-100 proof — so the alcohol content varies batch to batch.
Why doesn't Elijah Craig Barrel Proof carry a 12-year age statement anymore?
Heaven Hill moved to batch-specific aging for the Barrel Proof series, so each release — including Batch A124 — carries its own barrel-driven age rather than a fixed number on the label.
