Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Straight A123 Bourbon

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Straight Bourbon A123 is a limited small-batch release from Heaven Hill, drawn from 12-year-old barrels and bottled straight from the cask with no chill-filtration. This A123 batch is bottled at 125.6 proof (62.8% ABV), delivering a full-bodied, cask-strength expression of Elijah Craig that is released only a few times a year and available at Blenheim Vintners strictly on allocation.

In the glass, it shows deep amber colour and a bold nose of dark caramel, vanilla and toasted oak, with hints of baking spice and dried fruit. The palate is rich and powerful yet balanced, bringing layers of sweet charred oak, toffee, spice and dark fruit, with a long, warming finish that showcases the intensity of barrel proof bourbon. This bottling will particularly appeal to enthusiasts who enjoy high-proof Kentucky bourbon and are looking for a rare, allocated release from Elijah Craig.
