  Referred to as ECBP in the Bourbon Community, Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is a 12-year-old uncut, unfiltered bourbon. Made from a Mashbill of 75% corn, 13% rye and 12% barley

  Elijah Craig Barrel Proof batches of bourbon don't have any year releases marked on the bottle so the only way to determine the release is by the proof on the label. Please see below for the associated proof for the corresponding release.  Approximately 4 different batches are released per year.

  FYI, since the redesign from 2017, the batch number actually tells you the year. Batch A120 mean it was the first release of the year, done in Jan on year 2020; C917 means third batch on Sept of 2017 (Source: J. Sun)

  EXAMPLE: C917

  C = Third release in that year

  9 = 9th Month, September

  17 = last 2 digits of the year, 2017
