Elijah Craig Private Barrel Kentucky Straight Barrel No 6879511 9 year 750 ML

This Elijah Craig Private Barrel is a single-barrel Kentucky straight bourbon from Heaven Hill Distillery, aged 9 years and drawn from Barrel No. 6879511 as part of the brand's retailer barrel-select program. Since it comes from one specific barrel rather than a blended batch, this bottle's exact flavor is unique to that barrel's location in the rickhouse and won't be repeated in future picks. Elijah Craig's standard bourbon recipe already leans toward rich, oak-forward character, and nine years of aging pushes that further than the flagship release typically shows. Expect caramel, vanilla, oak, and spice with a smooth, mellow finish.
