One of the biggest mistakes that many whiskey drinkers make is overlooking the expressions of legacy distillers and instead chasing the latest upstart boutique brand. Don't sleep on
Elijah Craig 15 Year Old Single Barrel Bourbon.
There is a reason the brand has been around for decades: it’s very good and incredibly consistent. We were fortunate to get an allotment of its acclaimed and sought-after 15-year-old bourbon. While it regularly sells for $400, for a limited time we’re selling it for $270. You’ll regret not picking up at least one bottle of this exceptional whiskey.
