Elijah Craig Small Batch Kentucky Bourbon 94 Proof 1.75L

Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon 1.75L. Heaven Hill Distillery, Bardstown, Kentucky — the handle-format bottle of Heaven Hill's most iconic small batch expression, offering the same 78% corn mash bill, upper rick house aging, and 94-proof character that has made Elijah Craig Small Batch one of the most consistent value benchmarks in American whiskey — in a 1.75L format ideal for home bars, gifting, and anyone who goes through a bottle faster than the 750ml allows.

The 1.75L contains precisely the same bourbon as the 750ml — same distillery, same mash bill, same barrel program, same proof. Upper rick house floor aging drives heat cycling that pushes the spirit deeper into the charred oak than lower floors produce, extracting the caramel, vanilla, and baking spice that define the Elijah Craig Small Batch profile. Heaven Hill's commitment to small batch production means every batch is hand-selected rather than blended at mass-production scale, preserving the consistency and character that bourbon drinkers rely on.

For regular Elijah Craig drinkers, the 1.75L delivers the same quality at a meaningfully lower per-ounce cost. For anyone building a home bar, gifting to a bourbon enthusiast, or stocking up ahead of an occasion, the handle is the practical choice without any compromise on what's inside.

• Finish: Warm and moderately long with lingering oak spice and caramel. Consistent and clean.

• Why is Elijah Craig considered such good value? Upper rick house aging drives deeper wood interaction than lower floors produce. At 94 proof from a 78% corn mash bill in new charred oak, the flavor consistently over-delivers relative to its price — one of the most reliable value benchmarks in American whiskey.
• What cocktails work best with Elijah Craig Small Batch? Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Whiskey Sour, or neat with a splash of water. The caramel and vanilla profile also works beautifully in a Bourbon Smash or Kentucky Mule.
