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 3 different batches are released per year.
Heaven Hill Press Release 5/5/2023 on Age Statement of Elijah Craig Barrel Proof (ECBP):
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof will now be barreled in small batches with varying age statements. Each batch of ECBP will have its own unique taste profile and proof, as in years past, and now a unique age statement that will retain the extra-aged characteristic the brand is known for. All other qualities of the series remain the same–non-chill-filtered and uncut to preserve all the natural esters and taste components from the barrels to the bottle. The variance in proof, and now age, from batch to batch is an exercise for true whiskey aficionados to experience the consistency in quality across the series while allowing for the unique intricacies of each batch to pull forward.
We will be adding a complete ECBP batch comparison over the next weeks. Please see the review for each batch below with photo.
