American Bourbon and Rye

Elijah Craig is proud to continue our legacy on the golf course as the Official Bourbon of the 2025 PGA Championship. This historic tournament will take place at Quail Hollow Golf Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, from May 15-18, bringing together the best in the game—and the best in Bourbon.

To commemorate this partnership, we’re releasing a special version of our award-winning Small Batch. The bottle features exclusive design elements, including the official 2025 PGA Championship logo, a gold coin cork, and a label that proudly displays Elijah Craig’s designation as the tournament’s Official Bourbon. Each bottle is crafted from barrels specially selected from Heaven Hill Distillery’s Q and H1 rickhouses, nodding to Quail Hollow’s place in championship history. This limited-edition release will be available nationally on an allocated basis starting in March 2025

We’re also bringing one-of-a-kind experiences to fans at Quail Hollow, including the return of the Elijah Craig Speakeasy, our immersive on-course activation where spectators can enjoy handcrafted cocktails, interactive moments, and an inside look at what makes Elijah Craig a standout Bourbon. Fans will also find us featured at general concessions, as well as throughout out of home advertisements in the greater Charlotte area leading up to the Championship.

“Elijah Craig remains an integral element of the onsite experience at the PGA Championship,” said Jessica Burdett, Director of Corporate Partnerships at the PGA of America. “We are confident that spectators will enjoy Elijah Craig's award-winning bourbon and premium activation experiences while watching the strongest field in golf compete at Quail Hollow Club this May.”

Beyond the PGA Championship, Elijah Craig continues to deepen our ties to golf through partnerships with PGA TOUR professionals Max Homa, Robert MacIntyre, and J.T. Poston, as well as renowned broadcaster Amanda Balionis. We’re also proud to be the Official Bourbon and Whiskey Supplier of the PGA of America, the Ryder Cup, and the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.

9 year single barrel - barrel proof bourbon

proof: 129.8

Back in the 1960s through the 80s, distilleries were having trouble selling their whiskey in bottles so they started creating unique bottlings through the use of Decanters. Old Crow, which was owned and produced by National Distillers created a full chess set of decanter bottles, complete with all pieces and the ability to send them postage to receive a carpeted chessboard as well. The whiskey inside is 86pf and age stated 10 years, but is among some of the highest rated whiskey by vintage enthusiasts that has ever been produced.

Note: Old decanters could possibly have some minor leakage during transit.  We will do everything to prevent leakage but some is frequently expected and we cannot be held liable for minor leakage.  Major issues - please contact us (such as decanter breakage, significant leakage) and please have pictures/video available.  

Toffee, candy corn, cherries, burnt caramel, Dr. Pepper, charred barrels on the nose. Toffee, candy corn, cherries, burnt caramel, Dr. Pepper, charred barrels on the palate. Dried fruit on the finish. Mid to back, long and dry.

This year’s Parker’s Heritage Collection release is also named “Promise of Hope,” and is also unique in that it’s the first single barrel Bourbon to be released in the series. Parker Beam personally selected around 100 barrels from Heaven Hill’s inventory at his favorite spot for “honey barrels” in the company’s Deatsville maturation warehouses, the top tiers of Rickhouse EE. The whiskey is 10 years old, and bottled without chill-filtering at Parker’s preferred strength of 48% ABV. A perfectly balanced, sweet smelling nose. Hints of fruits and spice, enhanced with oak. Caramelized sugar, honey and maple stand out the most. A very complex splash of flavors when it hits the tongue. Caramelized sugar and apples, with dashes of sweet honey and maple syrup.As it settles on the back of your tongue, oak characteristics come into play. Caramel also begin to pull out over the sugars.

W.L. Weller Special Reserve (2025 Gold Foil Edition)

The Original Wheated Bourbon – Elevated for 2025

Known as the "Original Wheated Bourbon," W.L. Weller Special Reserve replaces the traditional rye grain with wheat to create an exceptionally soft, smooth, and approachable profile. This 2025 Gold Foil Edition takes that heritage and wraps it in a stunning, limited-edition presentation.

Featuring the iconic gold foil neck wrap, a design cue historically reserved for the most prestigious "dusty" bottles produced at the old Stitzel-Weller distillery this 2025 release is as much a centerpiece for your display as it is a world-class sipper.

Why the "Gold Foil" Matters to Bourbon Collectors

• Nostalgic Heritage: The gold foil aesthetic is a direct tribute to the high-end Weller bottlings of the 1970s and 80s, bridging the gap between modern Buffalo Trace excellence and the "Old School" Weller legacy.

• Limited 2025 Allocation: Unlike the standard Special Reserve, the Gold Foil release is produced in significantly lower quantities, making it a high-velocity target for "Weller Completionists."

• The Buffalo Trace Pedigree: Distilled at the world's most awarded distillery (DSP-KY-113) using the same wheated mash bill as Pappy Van Winkle, this bottle offers a 90-proof masterclass in balance and sweetness.

Tasting Notes: The Gold Standard Profile

• Nose: A warm, inviting bouquet of honey, butterscotch, and soft floral notes, underpinned by a hint of toasted oak.

  Palate: Remarkable creaminess on the tongue. Expect flavors of caramel apple, vanilla bean, and a delicate honeyed sweetness that only a 10-year-plus aging cycle (relative to standard batches) can provide.

• Finish: Exceptionally clean and calm. It leaves a lingering sweetness with a "burnt orange" citrus zest that defines the 2025 harvest.

• T8ke's Tasting Notes: 
  • Nose: Full, rich, vibrant: baked apple, cinnamon, maple and an icing note pops on the nose. There's cherry, orange peel, fuji and red delicious apple, cinnamon, brown butter and delicious maple candies that just emanates. Tons of sweetness, oakiness begins to show after a moment in the glass with a hint of char, loads of baking spice and maple with some light pipe tobacco and creamy, decadent, vanilla bean. 
  • Palate: Rich and layered, the supple, pillowy, opulent texture of the old Canadian marries well with the rich, faintly brash qualities of the Kentucky whiskey. Delivering rich brioche and cinnamon, fatty syrupy dessert characters like caramel and toffee and praline with notes of pepper, bold oak, a hint of pipe tobacco and gobs of brittle this becomes a sneaky beast. Hints of marmalade and deep, luxardo cherry develop with airtime. 
  • Finish: Long, long, holding, grippy, balanced. There's oak, it holds, it carries all of the dessert character, baking spice, toffee and a faint show of honey before satisfying oak, apple bake, vanilla bean and more brulee takes over. 
  • Overall: A quiet giant, whisper loud in all the right way 

Old Carter Small Batch Bourbon PLDC #4 (125 Proof)

Woodinville 100% Rye Aged 8 Years. This is truly handcrafted whiskey. Planted in the Fall, rye grain lies dormant all winter long under a blanket of snow. When growth resumes, during the scorching summer months on the Omlin family farm in Quincy, Washington, the crop is hand irrigated. Nearly a full year after planting, at harvest, Arnie and son Joel work long hours gathering the grain, which is then trucked across the mountains to Woodinville for milling, mashing and distillation. After distillation, the whiskey is transported back to barrelhouses in Quincy, where it rests in custom-specified, long-seasoned, toasted and charred American Oak barrels.

“None of this is efficient, but it’s 100% worth it,” say Woodinville co-founder Orlin Sorensen. “We are laser-focused on quality, and if it takes an extra step or two on the journey, we’ll absolutely forge that path. We’re here to make the best craft whiskey in America, and we’re excited to share this Woodinville 100% Rye Aged 8 Years.”

Woodinville 100% Rye Aged 8 Years Tasting Notes: Dark molasses, clove and brown sugar on the nose, followed by cinnamon, vanilla, dark honey and touch of dried cranberry on the palate. It offers a long warm peppery finish with a dry oaky grip in your mouth.
