Heaven Hill Releases Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Ryder Cup Limited Edition
Heaven Hill Distillery has announced the launch of Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Ryder Cup, a limited edition bourbon finished in European Toasted Oak Barrels.
Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Ryder Cup Limited Edition was created to commemorate the 2023 Ryder Cup, and is part of a multi-year partnership which makes the Elijah Craig Bourbon brand the “Official Bourbon” and a worldwide supplier of the biennial competition.
Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Ryder Cup Limited Edition was created by finishing fully matured Elijah Craig Small Batch in new European Oak barrels that have been toasted with a profile inspired by those used in the Lazio wine growing region. Lazio wines are grown in and around Rome, Italy, where the 2023 Ryder Cup is being held at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club September 29th through October 1st.
Heaven Hill describes Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Ryder Cup Limited Edition as having aromas of “caramel and crème brûlée,” followed by notes of “baking spices and bright fruit” on the palate, and a “moderately long” finish “dominated by spice.”
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.
Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Ryder Cup Limited Edition launches in the United States this month and will be available on an allocated basis at a suggested retail price of $99.99.
