To sip Barrel Proof is to experience Bourbon in its purest form: uncut, straight from the barrel, and without chill filtering. Each bottle has its own unique age statement, proof, and batch number allowing for subtle nuances from batch to batch; but the nose, taste, and finish are pure Elijah Craig.

The final release in Heaven Hill’s 2022 Elijah Craig Barrel Proof program is Elijah Craig Barrel Proof C922.

The “C” in the name stands for the third batch in an annual A, B, C line. The “9” denotes the release month, September, while the 22 represents the current year.

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof C922 is 124.8 proof. This is the highest proof in the series this year, following A122 and B522, both at 121 proof.

UNDERSTANDING THE LABEL

Each batch of Barrel Proof is bottled with a unique age statement, including the month and
year of the youngest barrel from the batch. The proof also varies with each release.

The batch number on the label provides specific information about each batch. The first letter
indicates the order of the release for that year, starting with "A.” The first number represents the
month of the release. The third and fourth digits indicate the year.

TASTING NOTES
