Sips & Sites & Bites

There’s something about the crack of a driver off the tee and the clink of ice in a glass that just feels … right. And this spring, Elijah Craig is bringing those two worlds together once again with a bottle that’s as much a conversation piece as it is a pour.

Just in time for the 2026 PGA Championship, Elijah Craig has rolled out its new 108-Proof Commemorative Edition Small Batch Bourbon … and yes, that 108 proof is no coincidence. It’s a clever nod to the 108th playing of the championship, which tees off May 14–17 at the historic Aronimink Golf Club.

Crafted from a small batch of barrels pulled from Heaven Hill Distillery’s N and S rickhouses, this limited release takes everything fans love about Elijah Craig Small Batch and dials it up just enough to feel special, without losing its easygoing charm.

Think warm, inviting aromas of vanilla, clove, cinnamon, and a hint of citrus, followed by a palate that swings through butterscotch, ripe berries, and baking spices. The finish? Long, smooth, and just spicy enough to keep things interesting … kind of like a back-nine charge on Sunday.

Of course, this isn’t just about what’s in the bottle. The packaging gets the full championship treatment, too, featuring the official PGA Championship logo and Elijah Craig’s “Official Bourbon” badge front and center. The finishing touch is a gold coin cork stamped with the Aronimink Golf Club logo … a detail that collectors (and golf fans) will appreciate almost as much as the whiskey itself.

Elijah Craig’s relationship with the golf world continues to deepen, with ties to the PGA of America and partnerships with pros like Robert MacIntyre and J. T. Poston. It’s a natural pairing … precision, patience, and craftsmanship are just as important in a barrelhouse as they are on the fairway.

The 108-Proof 2026 PGA Championship Commemorative Edition is shipping now in limited quantities, with a suggested price of $36.99. Whether you’re watching from the couch or lucky enough to be walking the course, it’s a fitting way to raise a glass to one of golf’s biggest stages.

Because really, if you’re going to celebrate a major, you might as well do it with a major pour.
