    Elijah Craig Brand Family Tasting

    7:00 PM - 7:45 PM

    Astor A

    Elijah Craig was the first to char oak barrels to make bourbon. Taste from a family of bourbons and whiskeys from the Father of Bourbon. From the traditional Small Batch that started it all, to straight rye whiskeys for extra spice. But why stop there? An extra layer of decadence is layered into our bourbon and rye from the use of a secondary toasted and flash charred barrel. Next, a unique batch of our Barrel Proof Bourbon bottled straight from the barrel. Top off the tasting with a rare opportunity to sip some of the oldest Kentucky bourbon, Elijah Craig 18 yr., bottled from the contents of one single barrel.
