Description
Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Bourbon 700ml is a Kentucky straight bourbon from Heaven Hill that takes fully matured Elijah Craig Small Batch and finishes it in a second, custom toasted new oak barrel. The toasting draws out more sweetness and spice from the wood than a standard char, and the bourbon is bottled at 47% ABV.

Sip it neat or with a few drops of water to bring out the toasted, chocolate notes, or pour it over a large ice cube. It makes a rich Old Fashioned and pairs well with smoked brisket, pecan pie or dark chocolate.

Expect toasted bread, honey and dark chocolate on the nose with a little toasted marshmallow. The palate balances baking spice and soft oak with vanilla, caramel and dark chocolate, finishing warm with a hint of smoke.
The brand takes its name from Reverend Elijah Craig, the Baptist preacher often credited in bourbon folklore with first ageing whiskey in charred oak barrels.
A great pick for bourbon drinkers who know Elijah Craig Small Batch and want to see how a toasted barrel finish changes it.
