Process & Profile

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch C925 continues Heaven Hill’s renowned tradition of bottling bourbon straight from the barrel — uncut, unfiltered, and uncompromisingly bold. Aged for 9 years and 1 month, this batch represents a shift from the former 12-year minimum releases, allowing the whiskey’s true maturity and flavor balance to dictate its readiness.

Bottled at a robust 129 proof, Batch C925 captures the core identity of Elijah Craig’s mash bill (78% corn, 12% malted barley, 10% rye), offering a deep, complex profile full of sweet oak, baking spice, and caramelized richness. Matured in charred new American oak barrels, it delivers concentrated intensity, warmth, and structure while retaining the signature elegance that defines the Elijah Craig line.
