Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel
94 proof NAS Bourbon Heaven Hill Bardstown, KY
Nose

Sweet caramel and honey with prominent oak. The toasted barrel adds extra sweetness and caramelized wood sugars compared to the standard expression, with hints of new oak character.

Palate

Marshmallow and campfire notes dominate. Sweet with caramel elements, not as thick or viscous as a barrel proof, but with amplified sweetness from the toasted barrel finish.

Finish

Sweet with lingering caramel notes.

Above average
A well-executed toasted barrel finish that amplifies sweetness and adds campfire-like complexity to the familiar Elijah Craig profile.
