The Elijah Craig brand pays homage to the Reverend Elijah Craig, a Baptist preacher and entrepreneur credited as the first distiller to age his whiskey in new charred oak barrels back in 1789. This innovative charring process imparted the rich flavor and reddish color that would come to define "Bourbon." Today, Heaven Hill Distillery upholds this legacy, producing a full line of award-winning whiskeys that are celebrated for their quality and character.
