Kentucky-based bourbon whiskey brand Elijah Craig, is celebrating Old Fashioned Week from October 10 - 19. Amanda Balionis shared a picture on Instagram to mark the occasion with her fans who celebrate it.

Elijah Craig posted a picture of the CBS Sports reporter sitting at a bar dressed in an Elijah Craig-branded top. She smiled at the camera as she posed next to a bottle of the premium whiskey and a cocktail and the post’s caption read:

“Nobody celebrates Old Fashioned Week quite like Team Elijah Craig. @robertmacintyre, @jtposton, and @balionis have theirs. What will you stir up?”

Old Fashioned Week is a 10-day occasion that celebrates the classic cocktail. To mark the celebration, Elijah Craig pledges to donate $1 for every Old Fashioned sold to bar and restaurant workers in need. The brand has raised over half a million dollars as a result of this cause since 2020.

In February, Elijah Craig announced a new multi-year partnership with Amanda Balionis. She joined the whiskey brand as an ambassador alongside PGA Tour Pro Max Homa.

Speaking on the new partnership, the golf reporter said:

"Our hang outs just got a lot better now that I’m Team Elijah Craig’s newest golf brand ambassador. Max [Homa] has me beat on the course, but as an avid whiskey fan, I’ve got the edge when it comes to mixing with award-winning Bourbon. I’m looking forward to enjoying Elijah Craig with Max at the 19th Hole and raising a glass with golf fans everywhere!”

Amanda Balionis has promoted Elijah Craig on social media on several other occasions. She went on a blind tasting for her own limited-edition barrel selection with the brand last week. She also promoted a limited edition bottle that the brand created to celebrate the 45th Ryder Cup held at Bethpage Black.
