The story behind it

The maker

Heaven Hill Distillery was founded in 1935 by the Shapira brothers shortly after the repeal of Prohibition. Today, it remains one of the largest independent, family-owned and operated American spirits producers, dedicated to preserving traditional bourbon-making craft.

How it is made

Elijah Craig is produced at the historic Heaven Hill Distillery & rickhouses in Bardstown, Kentucky. It pays homage to the legendary Reverend Elijah Craig, who is credited with first aging his whiskey in charred oak casks.
