Elijah Craig 18 Undercuts Eagle Rare 17 by Ten Dollars

This Saturday recap follows the week's through-line: 18-year bourbons are no longer a single-bottle lottery. Heaven Hill's Elijah Craig 18 lands at $89.99 with a pre-allocation window closing June 25, Knob Creek 18 checks in at $99.99, and King of Kentucky sits above $150 — three bottles, same age, different grain stories. Franklin also walks through the Michter's US★1 10-Year walk-up event at Fort Nelson in Louisville on July 11–13, explains why it's worth the drive, and rounds out the week with a few honest, shelf-available pours for anyone still looking on a Saturday night.
