Product Details

Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Bourbon is a bold and innovative twist on the classic Elijah Craig Small Batch, offering a deeper, richer flavour profile through the use of custom-toasted oak barrels. After maturing in traditional charred new American oak, the bourbon is finished in specially toasted barrels, adding layers of complexity and warmth. Bottled at 47% ABV (94 proof), this expression maintains the signature richness of Elijah Craig while showcasing the transformative effect of toasting.

Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel is perfect for bourbon lovers seeking a richer, more indulgent dram without overwhelming sweetness. It’s also a standout for collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate the artistry of secondary maturation. A brilliant balance of innovation and tradition, this release continues Heaven Hill’s reputation for thoughtful, flavour-forward American whiskey.
