Elijah Craig 10 yr Barrel Proof # A125 Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch A125 pours at 118.2 proof directly from the charred oak cask, preserving Heaven Hill’s ten-year, seven-month maturation cycle without post-barrel water adjustment or filtration. Each release isolates an individual barrel rather than blending multiple racks, delivering a spirit that mirrors the exact chemical balance extracted inside the selected stave.

The tasting signature begins with distinct layers of rich caramel and prominent vanilla custard, anchored by toasted oak and nutmeg. Elevated alcohol content creates a velvety mouthfeel that maps sweet grain forward through spicy cinnamon and measured baking spices, building into a long, warming finish that clings to woody undertones well beyond the initial pour.

Serving at full cask strength allows you to adjust the viscosity without shifting the underlying distillation character. Add measured water or ice to soften the ethanol presence, or consume it neat to experience the pure concentration intended at bottling. Released in January 2025 and packaged in a 750 ml format, Batch A125 represents a fixed snapshot of this specific rack window for collectors and independent sippers.
