The Story
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch #C924 & Small Batch Bourbon Bundle — two bottles from Heaven Hill's Elijah Craig program: the C924 batch of the annual Barrel Proof release (September 2024, the third batch of that year) and the standard Elijah Craig Small Batch, presenting the full-proof and approachable-proof expressions side by side.
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is released three times annually in lettered batches — A (January), B (May), and C (September) — each bottled at the natural collective proof of that batch's barrels without water addition. Batch C924 is the third release of 2024. Elijah Craig Small Batch is the standard production expression: consistent, well-balanced, and the baseline from which the Barrel Proof's additional intensity is most clearly understood when tasted in comparison.
Buying both in a bundle provides the most direct possible comparison of what proof and batch selection do to the same underlying Heaven Hill distillery character — the Small Batch at its approachable standard proof alongside the Barrel Proof at whatever the barrels naturally reached in C924.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the C924 batch designation mean? The letter indicates the batch within the year (A = first, B = second, C = third), and the number indicates the year. C924 is the third Elijah Craig Barrel Proof release of 2024.
- How does Barrel Proof differ from Small Batch? Elijah Craig Small Batch is bottled at a consistent 94 proof after water addition. Barrel Proof is bottled at whatever proof the selected barrels naturally reach — no water added. The result is more concentrated flavor and higher alcohol, with the same underlying Heaven Hill distillery character amplified.
- Is this a good introduction to barrel proof bourbon? Yes — having both bottles lets you taste the standard expression first to establish the baseline, then experience the Barrel Proof version with that context. One of the clearest educational side-by-sides in the bourbon category.
