BARDSTOWN, Ky. , June 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Elijah Craig today announced the reintroduction of a 21-Year-Old Single Barrel Bourbon to its family of premium American whiskeys, available for a limited time. A rare, ultra-aged addition to the brand's legendary Single Barrel lineup, the expression joins the widely acclaimed 15-Year-Old Single Barrel Bourbon and 18-Year-Old Single Barrel Bourbon. It will be exclusively available at the Heaven Hill Bourbon Experience starting on June 14 in celebration of National Bourbon Day, with additional highly limited distribution planned for later this year.

On the nose, Elijah Craig 21-Year-Old Single Barrel Bourbon evokes toasted oak, leather and complex spices. Tasting reveals notes of milk chocolate, toasted nuts and burnt caramel, while aged oak, molasses, barrel char and peppery spices bring it to a rich finish. Bottled at 94 proof, the latest Elijah Craig release comes packed in a custom wooden display case reflecting the craftsmanship of barrel charring that earned the brand's namesake the moniker "Father of Bourbon."
