Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Bourbon
Bourbon
Elijah Craig // Kentucky, USA
Produced at Heaven Hill Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, Toasted Barrel begins as fully matured Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon before being re-entered at barrel proof into a secondary barrel crafted in partnership with Independent Stave Company. Made with 18 month air-dried staves, the finishing barrel is toasted at a moderate temperature before being flash charred.
Both the initial and finishing barrels are made from new American oak. A permanent addition to the Elijah Craig portfolio, it is bottled at 94 proof and became available beginning September 2020.

Tasting Notes
"The nose shows a bit of wax along with brown sugar, apples, oak, and char smoke. There's a touch of dried herbs there as well. As you taste, the bourbon is very spicy, almost painfully so. But there's enough sweetness there to help tame the hot spicy notes down with a bit of chocolate covered raisins and vanilla coming through on the finish. Overall, the bourbon is bittersweet--heavier on the bitter--and on the thin side. If you enjoy eating mouthfuls of cinnamon red hots, this is the bourbon for you. If not, stick to their classic Small Batch Bourbon."
