To sip Barrel Proof is to experience Bourbon in its purest form: uncut, straight from the barrel, and without chill filtering. Each bottle is hand labelled with its unique proof and batch number; but the nose, taste, and finish are pure Elijah Craig.
In 1789, Elijah Craig became the first distiller to age his whiskey in new charred oak barrels. Some claim that an accidental fire charred his barrels and changed the whiskey inside. Others say he stored his whiskey in former sugar barrels and was impressed with how charring improved the flavour.
However as it happened, Elijah Craig knew he had discovered something great. He continued to refine the barrel charring process, imparting smooth, rich flavour to the spirit that would become known as Bourbon. 250 years later, he is still known as the Father of Bourbon—and his namesake brand still crafts its Bourbon today using the same time-honoured methods.
