Welcome to Elijah Craig
Reverend Elijah Craig founded his distillery in 1789 along with Elkhorn Creek in present day Georgetown, Kentucky. He is credited with being the first distiller
to age his whiskey in charred oak barrels, earning his place in history as the Father of Bourbon.
​
Elijah Craig created a new expression of American Whiskey when he first charred oak barrels to make Bourbon. 250 years later, charred barrels are still integral to our Bourbon-making process; and the
possibilities are endless. Today, all Elijah Craig Bourbons are aged in Level 3 charred new
oak barrels.​
