Elijah Craig Straight Bourbon Barrel Proof 12 Yr 125.6

The Elijah Craig Straight Bourbon Barrel Proof 12 Yr 125.6 is a powerhouse Kentucky bourbon crafted for serious whiskey enthusiasts. Aged for 12 years and bottled straight from the barrel without chill filtration, this limited-release expression delivers bold flavor, rich complexity, and the unmistakable intensity that barrel-proof bourbon lovers crave.

Produced in Kentucky and distilled from a traditional mash bill of 78% corn, 12% malted barley, and 10% rye, this bourbon is matured in new charred American oak barrels before being bottled at 125.6 proof (62.8% ABV). Because it is bottled at barrel strength, it retains every ounce of flavor developed during the aging process, creating a deep and full-bodied whiskey experience.

Flavor Profile

Expect a rich and layered tasting experience from start to finish:

• Aroma: Caramel, toasted oak, baked apple, and hints of orange
• Palate: Bold vanilla, butterscotch, baking spice, and black pepper
• Finish: Long, warming finish with lingering oak and cinnamon spice

The high proof creates a powerful first sip, but a few drops of water can open up even more complexity, revealing deeper notes of fruit, vanilla, and toasted sugar.

Barrel Proof Excellence

What makes Elijah Craig Barrel Proof so sought after is its uncut and unfiltered character. Unlike many bourbons diluted before bottling, this whiskey comes straight from the barrel, preserving the natural oils and flavor compounds that give it its rich mouthfeel and intense character.

Each batch varies slightly in proof and flavor profile, making every release unique. The 125.6 proof 12-year release is especially prized by collectors and bourbon enthusiasts for its balance of age, strength, and depth.
