Regardless of whether or not Elijah Craig actually invented bourbon or not, it doesn’t change the fact that the whiskey line made in his name is fantastic. If you’re a whiskey drinker, you already know about its flagship expressions like Elijah Craig Small Batch, Elijah Craig Barrel Proof, and the popular Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel.

If that latter whiskey is your favorite, you’ll be excited to learn that Elijah Craig is partnering with PGA tour pro Max Homa to launch a one-of-a-kind bourbon expression. Specifically, it’s a barrel pick bottle of its beloved Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel.

Homa’s Toasted Barrel pick begins as the brand’s classic Small Batch Bourbon matured in a secondary custom toasted barrel. The result is a complex, memorable 126.6-proof sipping whiskey loaded with flavors like charred oak, vanilla, caramel, and gentle spices.

The six-time PGA Tour winner worked with Elijah Craig Master Distiller Conor O’Driscoll to select a unique, flavorful 8-year-old bourbon that was first aged on the fifth floor of Heaven Hill’s Rickhouse M before being finished for six months on the fifth floor of Warehouse H1.

“Since the beginning of my partnership with Elijah Craig, fans have been asking for a barrel pick,” Homa said.

“All of the barrels I sampled were delicious which made the decision very difficult, but in the end my Toasted Barrel pick ultimately stood out with its rich creamy notes of butterscotch and vanilla alongside the classic oak smokiness and spice Elijah Craig is known for.”

Sadly, you can’t stroll into your local liquor store and grab a bottle of this limited-edition expression. Only 200 bottles are being made available exclusively to residents of California. To get on the list to possibly purchase a bottle, you’ll also need to join the brand’s notification list to learn when it will be released.

These underrated bourbons deserve a spot in your fall whiskey rotation
Prepare for fall by purchasing these lesser-known bourbons

Bourbon is the epitome of America in a glass. The United States’ “native spirit” is as American as the designated hitter, bright yellow school buses, and McDonald’s apple pie. It’s entrenched in the history of America, with many big names like Maker’s Mark, Jim Beam, Woodford Reserve, and Wild Turkey taking center stage. But, while you can’t go wrong with any of these brands and expressions, if you really want to get the most out of this corn-based whiskey, you’ll try one of the countless lesser-known (but just as noteworthy) bourbons on the market.
A background on bourbon

Before we get into these underrated gems, it’s important to take a step back and let you in on the rules and regulations surrounding bourbon. Because there are a few. First, to be considered a bourbon, it must be made with a mash bill of at least 51% corn.
And while there are a handful of other rules, the second most important is based on geography. Bourbon, like Cognac in certain areas of France and tequila in specific Mexican states, can only be produced in the US. Even though someone might try to tell you that it can only be produced in Kentucky, that’s simply not true. Sure, more than 90% of all bourbon is made in the Blue Grass State, but it can be made anywhere in the US, including DC and Puerto Rico.

Blue Run Spirits is launching a uniquely finished whiskey

There are unique whiskeys, and then there is Blue Run Spirits’ newest expression. That’s because this boundary-pushing whiskey began as a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey. Nothing seems strange there, right? Well, things got a little wacky when the distillers decided to finish it not on rum, cognac, or even port casks. Instead, they opted for ex-gin barrels.
Blue Run Spirits Glimmer

It’s called Blue Run Spirits Glimmer, and this 103.2-proof whiskey is perfect for both fans of sweet corn-centric bourbon and floral, piney gin. The first barrel-finished bourbon from the distillery began as the brand’s micro-batch, barrel proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon. It was finished in Barr Hill Tom Cat Gin barrels, which previously held the popular gin for between seven and twelve months.

The flavor secrets behind high-rye bourbon every whiskey lover should know
What exactly is high-rye bourbon?
Whiskey in a glass

Bourbon whiskey has some specific rules. First of all, it must be made in the US (this includes Washington DC, Guam, and Puerto Rico) and not just in Kentucky (even though 95% of bourbon whiskey is produced there). In addition to several other requirements, it must be made with a mash bill of at least 51% corn. The common secondary grains include barley, wheat, and rye. And while we could get into the various flavors each secondary grain brings to the table, today is all about rye—specifically, high-rye bourbon.

If you’re anything like me, when I first heard the term “high-rye” bourbon, I wasn’t entirely sure what it meant. In the simplest terms, it’s a bourbon made with a large percentage of rye after the initial corn. But it’s so much more complex than that.
