You know us, we love a whisky or a bourbon, particularly in the cooler months. Actually, that’s not strictly true. We love a whisky or a boubon in any of the 12 months of the year. So for the dad who appreciates a proper pour, why not consider Elijah Craig Small Batch.
Widely recognised as the original Small Batch bourbon, it’s crafted from a selection of 8 to 12-year-old barrels and aged in Level 3 charred oak, delivering warm spice, subtle smoke, vanilla and caramel with a long, smooth finish. Whether enjoyed neat or over ice, it’s a bottle worthy of celebrating Dad.
