This is the 23-year-old Elijah Craig, the whiskey was matured in single new charred oak barrel #77. Bottled in September 2017 at the Bardstown Heaven Hill distillery.

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.
