Product details
Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Bourbon begins its life as fully matured Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon. It then goes into a secondary barrel at barrel proof. These secondary barrels, crafted in partnership with Independent Stave Company, were made with 18 month air-dried staves which were toasted (moderate toast) then flash charred. Both the initial and finishing barrels were made from new American oak. Bottled at 94 proof.
On the nose, toasted marshmallows, rich caramel, vanilla, and baking spices. Light undertones of oak, summer fruits, and Granny Smith apples can also be teased out. Sweeter flavors of graham cracker, chocolate, and caramel contrast nutmeg and pepper spice notes on the palate. A touch of seasoned wood is evident, but fleeting. The presentation of flavors is sweet and enjoyable. On the finish, a blast of rye spice is followed by a rich caramel, brown sugar sweetness. Fireball candy heat along with hints of tobacco and oak lightly tease as the flavors taper off.
- Really tasty with lots of vanilla. The price is solid.
- Very mellow, easy to drink straight
- At this price point, it's a great pour.

At this price point, it’s is a great pour. A good variation to add to EC’s lineup.
Lots of hype on this new release and hard to find. If you haven't had any toasted barrel bourbons or ryes (Michter's, 1910, etc...), you need to try it out. Most find that the toasting adds a unique toasted marshmallow sweetness to the palate. It tones down the sharpness on the top of the palette and reduces the finish for me (compared to the standard EC or ECBP) but is unique and different. Must try at least once.
Toasted Barrel is another in the long line of Elijah Craig bourbons that I love. Even better that Bitters Bottles has it priced just right!
I was lucky enough to get a bottle and I'm happy I did. Ordered it on one day and I had it at my door the next day. This isn't my first time ordering from BB and will not be the last. Thanks again!!
I’m happy I got to try this whiskey. Really tasty with lots of vanilla. Not a huge finish, but that’s expected with the proof. Probably more of a 4.5 stars - but I’ll give it 5 because the price is solid.
I was very lucky to be able to snag 2 bottles of Toasted Barrel. Its one of my favorite Elijah Craig expressions.
was absolutely enjoyable and a solid value for this smooth elijah craig
