Elijah Craig Whiskey Family Bundle

Bourbon & Rye Bundle | 5 × 750mL | 3.75 Liters Total | Kentucky, USA | Proof Varies by Expression

Process & Profile

Elijah Craig Whiskey Family Bundle brings together five expressions from Heaven Hill, spanning classic bourbon, barrel-proof bourbon, straight rye, and toasted-barrel finishes. The selection offers several ways to explore how grain recipes, bottling strength, and additional oak maturation shape a whiskey’s character.

The bundle includes:

• 1 × Elijah Craig Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey — 750mL

• 1 × Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey — 750mL

• 1 × Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey — 750mL

• 1 × Elijah Craig Toasted Rye Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey — 750mL

• 1 × Elijah Craig Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey — 750mL

Small Batch provides the starting point for the bourbon comparison, with vanilla, fruit, oak, and warm spice. Toasted Barrel adds a second maturation in custom-toasted oak, introducing further sweetness and chocolate character. Barrel Proof offers an uncut, non-chill-filtered expression, with its strength and age varying by batch.

Straight Rye introduces a rye-led grain recipe, balancing baking spice with honey and oak. Toasted Rye builds on that foundation through an additional custom-toasted barrel finish, bringing creamy chocolate and toasted-nut notes into focus. Small Batch, Toasted Barrel, Straight Rye, and Toasted Rye are each bottled at 94 proof; the Barrel Proof Bourbon carries its own batch-specific strength.
