Elijah Craig Barrel Proof 8 Year Toasted Bourbon 127.7 [Barrel Select]

Description

Barrel Proof Toasted Bourbon – Barrel Select

This exceptional Elijah Craig Barrel Proof 8 Year Toasted Bourbon combines two of Heaven Hill’s most innovative approaches: barrel proof intensity and toasted barrel finishing. This barrel select expression takes 8-year-old bourbon and finishes it in custom toasted oak barrels before bottling at a robust 127.7 proof without dilution or chill filtration. The result is a powerhouse bourbon with layers of sweet oak complexity.

About This Release

The toasted barrel finishing process uses gentler heat treatment than traditional charring, caramelizing wood sugars to extract sweeter, more nuanced flavors. When combined with barrel proof strength, this creates an intensely flavorful bourbon with rich vanilla, caramel, and baking spice notes amplified to their fullest expression.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Intense vanilla and caramel with enhanced sweet toasted oak, butterscotch, and warm baking spices
• Palate: Full-bodied and robust with layers of honey, toffee, charred and toasted oak, brown sugar, and dark fruit at barrel proof intensity
• Finish: Long, warming finish with lingering sweetness and complex dual oak character from both charred and toasted barrels
