Elijah Craig is adding to its single barrel expressions with a 15-year-old bourbon, the brand announced today. The release comes in at 108 proof, or 54 percent ABV, making it the second-highest in the current lineup behind the 124.2 proof Elijah Craig Barrel Proof. With its higher-proof option, the brand wants to cater to consumers with complex, robust palates, according to the release.
“We were looking for exceptional depth and character in our first 15-Year-Old Single Barrel Bourbon, and it delivers at a proof that enhances its natural complexity,” says Conor O’Driscoll, master distiller at Heaven Hill Distillery, the parent company to and distilling site for Elijah Craig. “The result is a bold yet refined whiskey that is approachable enough to be an all-evening sipper.”
