Straight from the barrel to your glass — Elijah Craig Barrel Proof C 923 is an uncut, unfiltered Kentucky Straight Bourbon bottled at a commanding 133 proof (66.5% ABV) after 13 years and 7 months of aging. The "C 923" designation identifies this as the third batch released in September 2023, part of Heaven Hill's acclaimed three-times-a-year Barrel Proof series. No water added, no chill filtration — every ounce of rich, natural flavor preserved exactly as it emerged from the barrel.

• Palate: Bold and full-bodied with rich caramel, dark chocolate, charred oak, warm baking spice, and a deep complexity that builds with every sip
• Finish: Extraordinarily long and warming — oak, spice, and caramel that linger with remarkable persistence
