Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Ryder Cup Limited Edition Bourbon

Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Ryder Cup Limited Edition Bourbon starts with fully-matured Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon. It is finished in new European oak barrels toasted with a profile inspired by those in the Lazio wine-growing region. Lazio wines are grown in and around Rome, Italy, where the 2023 Ryder Cup is held at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club from September 29th through October 1st.

With its ability to integrate flavors subtly and softly, the European oak effortlessly balances the sweetness and spiciness of the Lazio-inspired toast profile and the elevated bright fruit character from the fully-matured Elijah Craig. This edition leads with a nose of caramel and creme brulee, and once tasted, the bright fruit notes burst onto the palate after initial notes of baking spices. The finish is moderately long and is dominated by spice. This release represents a marriage of the U.S. Team's Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey - America's native spirit - with the famed wine-growing region and host city of the European Team.

Each bottle will be adorned with a neck label featuring the Ryder Cup trophy, a gold coin emblazoned cork featuring the Ryder Cup logo, and a face label prominently featuring the Official Bourbon designation and Ryder Cup logo. The bottles will come packaged in a gift box, which further details the story of this one-time offering.
