A Fierce, Barrel-Strength Bourbon with Rich Oak Intensity – Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch No. C925
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch C925 is a bold expression from Heaven Hill, bottling its signature bourbon at full cask strength for a powerful, unfiltered experience that showcases both youth and maturity.
Tasting Experience
Color: Deep amber with warm bronze tones.
Nose: Caramelized sugar, toasted oak, vanilla bean, and a soft hint of dark fruit like raisin.
Palate: Rich toffee and brown sugar lead the way, layered with baking spice, roasted nuts, and a trace of dried fruit.
Finish: Long and warming — lingering oak, cinnamon, char, and a peppery bite that settles into subtle leather and earth.

Matured for 9 years and 1 month in new, charred American oak barrels, letting the wood deeply influence the spirit.
