ELIJAH CRAIG TOASTED BARREL FINISH

Heaven Hill Distillery produces Elijah Craig bourbon in Kentucky using limestone-filtered spring water that removes iron while adding calcium and magnesium, essential for fermentation in a state where 95% of American bourbon originates. This 47% ABV expression takes fully matured Small Batch bourbon and finishes it in custom toasted new oak barrels, a secondary maturation that develops additional wood sugars without the aggressive char. The pecan-colored whiskey offers toasted oak and rich caramel aromas, followed by spice, pepper, and milk chocolate with subtle smoke on the palate, finishing with warming baking spices and lingering chocolate that showcase the complexity achieved through double-barrel aging.
