Elijah Craig
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Elijah Craig is actually on the sweet side. A little fruity even.
- It’s perfectly fine. It’s a good one and not too woody.
- My all time go to brand. Consistently good.
- Elijah Craig is a good bourbon, in my opinion.
- For affordable options, I really like Elijah Craig, Woodford, and Evan Williams single barrel.
Cons
- Elijah Craig is well balanced but can come off a bit tannic to some.
- What I typically found with these early batches is they are much closer in taste to the Elijah Craig than a typically wheated bourbon.
- I also avoid Elijah Craig and many Heaven Hill products as well. They just don't sit with me.
- Remember when Elijah Craig’s were all age stated?

Elijah Craig, Larceny, 1792 barrel proof are also good.
I also read that Elijah Craig and Old Granddad make great OFs but I don't know which proof would work best here
Bunch of different ones for that but most common are probably Larceny, Elijah Craig,
Usually the bottle that sits in the $30ish range (Knob Creek, Buffalo Trace, 1792, Elijah Craig, etc) will suffice for picking up and understanding the general flavor profile from each distillery.
