Elijah Craig Barrel Proof (Batch A125) Bourbon Whiskey

Unfiltered Strength: Elijah Craig Barrel Proof (Batch A125) Bourbon Whiskey

The Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch A125 is a bold, full-strength release from Heaven Hill’s celebrated Elijah Craig line, bottled without chill filtration and straight from the barrel. As the first batch of 2025, A125 clocks in at a robust 125.6 proof and maintains the series’ reputation for delivering rich, complex bourbon with no compromise in flavor. Aged 11 years and 5 months, this batch exemplifies the powerful depth and elegance that fans of barrel-proof bourbon have come to expect.

Crafted using a mash bill of 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% malted barley, Batch A125 is matured in new charred oak barrels, allowing the whiskey to absorb the full influence of the wood. The result is an uncut expression that highlights Elijah Craig’s signature style—deeply layered, oak-driven, and surprisingly smooth given its strength.
