Twenty Five - Elijah Craig 12 Year Bourbon (Teal Label)
Central Waters Brewing Co.

Our preferred barrel to use in our barrel aging program since 2012 has always been the Elijah Craig 12 year old. This beer epitomizes the quality of these barrels. The stories we have, of trying to consistently attain these barrels through the years, could fill more than a nice summer evening by the campfire. It has been a wild ride trying to get barrels before the internet made things widely accessible to all of us, but these barrels made it all worth the challenge. Aged 47 months, we designed this beer to be slightly lighter in body but higher in alcohol to showcase the quality of these barrels. Flavor is dominated by barrel tannins – slightly smoke and vanilla, butterscotch, and at the right temperature, a hint of toasted coconut.
