Made to honor the innovative spirit of Elijah Craig, this twice-barreled expression takes our award-winning Small Batch Bourbon to new heights. After its fully matured, we finish it in a second, custom toasted barrel, where it picks up an added layer of sweet oak complexity.

“Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Finish is a sweet, unique tasting bourbon that results from a not-so-common finishing process.. well worth it for bourbon enthusiasts seeking a bourbon with some additional character.” – Nick Beiter, Breaking Bourbon

“This is great! Many of the same notes as Elijah Craig Small Batch, but more concentrated and refined. I find it to be sweeter and richer. I really like it and I’ll happily grab a bottle of this if I see it.” – Eric Burke, Bourbon Guy

“Initially reticent on the nose, with time this reveals gooey caramel, pralines, Hershey’s milk chocolate, and a touch of charred mint leaves. It’s chewy and occasionally sharp on the palate, with oodles of roasted nuts, polished oak, mint, peppery spice, dark chocolate, licorice, tobacco ash, and char. The medium-length finish holds tingling white pepper, unsweetened chocolate, and more polished oak.” – Susannah Skiver Barton, Whisky Advocate (88 Points)
