Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon 1.75L. Heaven Hill Distillery, Bardstown, Kentucky the handle-format bottle of Heaven Hill’s most iconic small batch expression, offering the same 78% corn mash bill, upper rick house aging, and 94-proof character that has made Elijah Craig Small Batch one of the most consistent value benchmarks in American whiskey in a 1.75L format ideal for home bars, gifting, and anyone who goes through a bottle faster than the 750ml allows.

The 1.75L contains precisely the same bourbon as the 750ml same distillery, same mash bill, same barrel program, same proof. Upper rick house floor aging drives heat cycling that pushes the spirit deeper into the charred oak than lower floors produce, extracting the caramel, vanilla, and baking spice that define the Elijah Craig Small Batch profile. Heaven Hill’s commitment to small batch production means every batch is hand-selected rather than blended at mass-production scale, preserving the consistency and character that bourbon drinkers rely on.

For regular Elijah Craig drinkers, the 1.75L delivers the same quality at a meaningfully lower per-ounce cost. For anyone building a home bar, gifting to a bourbon enthusiast, or stocking up ahead of an occasion, the handle is the practical choice without any compromise on what’s inside.
