Heaven Hill Launches Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel
Heaven Hill Distillery has announced the launch of Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, the latest line extension in the Elijah Craig family.
Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel is created by finishing fully matured Elijah Craig Small Batch in a second, custom new oak barrel made with 18-month air dried oak that’s first been toasted, then flash-charred using a moderate toast temperature and toast time to “bring forward dark sugar flavors within the wood to create a balance of smokiness and sweetness after months of finishing.”
Heaven Hill describes Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel as “big, rich and complex with spice and pepper notes that fade into milk chocolate with a hint of smoke as the finish lingers with chocolate and baking spices.”
Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel launches in the United States in September and will be available on an allocated basis at a suggested retail price of $49.99.
