Elijah Craig Cigar Heritage 8 year 750ml

Elijah Craig Cigar Heritage is a private-barrel selection from Heaven Hill, made in partnership with Cigar Heritage — two barrels chosen specifically to complement a cigar, then bottled uncut and un-chill filtered at barrel proof. Elijah Craig's standard bourbon runs on Heaven Hill's house mash bill, roughly 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% malted barley, aged in new charred oak. Because nothing is filtered out or diluted down, the barrel's full texture carries through: toasted oak, dark caramel, and a light spice that's built to stand up against a heavy smoke rather than get lost next to it. This is a bourbon aimed squarely at the cigar-and-whiskey crowd. Pour it neat, in a rocks glass, alongside the cigar it was picked for.

How to drink Elijah Craig Cigar Heritage

Neat is the only real option — barrel proof and un-chill filtered whiskey loses texture fast under ice. Give it a few minutes to breathe before lighting anything, since the bourbon's caramel and oak are meant to sit alongside the cigar's smoke, not compete with it immediately.
