An extremely rare expression of Elijah Craig 18 Year from the original 1978 era, one of the oldest specific-date Elijah Craig single barrels available and predating the program's modern era by decades.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe April 21, 1978 distillation date places this barrel in the very earliest documented Elijah Craig production — before the modern single barrel commercial program that Heaven Hill launched in the mid-1980s. At 18 years from the 1978 distillation, the bottling date would be approximately 1996 — the same year as the Heaven Hill fire, making the production context historically significant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heaven Hill, Bardstown, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Single Barrel\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBarrel:\u003c\/strong\u003e #125\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistilled:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 21, 1978\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rare\"\u003erare spirits at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs the Elijah Craig 18 Year 1978 Release Barrel #125 still available?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes — available now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is this still available?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes — available now.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"Elijah Craig","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42900757643335,"sku":"Scott","price":2499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0640\/2375\/files\/ElijahCraig18YSB1978F_eab7b8b6-6ed0-4ceb-b968-ca1721d3fb82.jpg?v=1782400936","url":"https:\/\/bourbonnest.com\/products\/elijah-craig-18-year-1978-release-125-4-21-78","provider":"Bourbon Nest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
