Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch A117 — the January 2017 release at 127 proof, the first batch of 2017 in Heaven Hill's tri-annual barrel proof program. Uncut, unfiltered, bottled at natural barrel proof from 12-year Heaven Hill barrels. The A-prefix designates January release; the 17 suffix designates 2017.

The Elijah Craig Barrel Proof program releases three batches annually — A (January), B (May/June), and C (September) — each drawing from 12-year barrels at their natural proof without dilution or chill filtration. Batch A117 at 127 proof is at the lower end of the ECBP proof spectrum, making it one of the more approachable ECBP releases.
