About Elijah Craig Sweet Baby Jesus Private Barrel Bourbon Whiskey
One year after the defeat of the British, a Baptist minister named Elijah Craig emigrated to Fayette County (today, a part of the State of Kentucky) and purchased 1,000 acres of land in a town named Lebanon. In 1789, Craig built a distillery on his farm and is credited with being the first person to mature bourbon in charred, oak casks, earning him the title "Father of Bourbon Whiskey."Elijah Craig Bourbon is an homage to Craig and his unique legacy. This private barrel of 12 years aged bourbon comes from the collect of Master barrel pickers Mitch Pats & Frankie Ment with over 30 years of combined knowledge, craft and experience. Their Sweet Baby Jesus is a complex, full-bodied spirit with sweet notes of caramel, vanilla, honeyed fruit notes, oak, and marzipan. So good it’ll have you saying “sweeeeet baby Jesus."

About Elijah Craig
Following the defeat of the British at the Battle of Yorktown during the American Revolutionary War, the territory west of the Appalachian mountains became known as Kentucky County. At the time, the territory was considered part of Virginia, and was overseen by a military governor named John J. Bowman. In order to encourage westward expansion, Virginia issued pioneers who agreed to settle in Kentucky County "corn writs," which granted the pioneers 60 acres of land if they agreed to settle in Kentucky and start farming corn.About Bourbon
There are not many things more American than bourbon, and although most of it is produced in Kentucky, it can be produced all over the USA.
It must be made with at least 51% corn and bottled at 40% ABV or higher. So why not give this American classic a try?
