Elijah Craig 18 Pre-Allocation Closes Thursday

Sunday's edition of The Cut Weekend sets up the week ahead — two moves with real deadlines and a few things worth putting on a list so they don't catch you off guard. Franklin covers the Elijah Craig 18-Year pre-allocation closing Thursday at $89.99, the Wild Turkey Master's Keep Triumph lotteries open across six states through the 25th–28th, and a closer look at Four Roses' unusual 2026 Limited Edition Small Batch process, where the recipe doesn't get named until July 19th in Lawrenceburg. Plus a quick look ahead at Michter's Fort Nelson and the first Maker's Mark FAE-02 reviews expected in late July.
