Affordable, versatile, delicious.
If you are looking for a quality, introductory, affordable whiskey, try Elijah Craig. This bourbon whiskey is the perfect starter for someone who is looking to make the switch from shots of Jameson or Jack Daniels to bourbon on the rocks.
For those who do not know,bourbon is a type of whiskey that must consist of at least 51% corn and must be aged in new charred oak barrels, whereas non-bourbon whiskey must be aged in oak but not new or charred barrels. Production in the United States is another requirement to label a whiskey “bourbon.” The pedigree that bourbon receives lends to it a distinct sweet, toasty flavor typically reminiscent of candied fruit, marshmallows, cherries, and vanilla.
The flavor profile of Elijah Craig fits this bill well. Throw an ice cube or two in a glass, pour some Elijah Craig over it, and let your taste buds be tantalized. Elijah Craig can be enjoyed neat, served straight up, although a couple of ice cubes will make it a bit more palatable for the novice. It can also be used for various cocktails, such as a whiskey sour, mint julep, or old fashioned.
So, if you are thinking of making the leap, try Elijah Craig.
