Charred to start. Toasted to Finish – This is one of our favourites!
Award-winning Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon captivates with its unique double-barrel aging process. Distillers fully mature this exceptional whiskey, then finish it in custom-toasted barrels to enhance its sweet oak complexity. Each sip delivers rich flavour notes that showcase the bourbon’s distinctive character. Rye connoisseurs seeking premium craft whiskey will discover perfection in every pour.
Elijah Craig comments.
“For Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel, we worked with our cooperage partners to craft entirely
new barrels that were custom toasted and then flash charred to our exact specifications.
These finishing barrels fall squarely under the legal definition of “charred new oak
containers,” and maintain all the requirements to be a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.”
Conor O’Driscoll, Master Distiller comments.
“Every time I give it a taste, I just think ‘Wow…there’s a lot going on in that glass.’ This is a seriously rich & complex whiskey”.

Official tasting notes.
Nose: Lots of toasted oak with rich caramel
Palate: Big, rich, and complex. Delightful spice and pepper notes fade to milk chocolate with just a hint of smoke.
Finish: Complexity continues. Nicely warming, with lingering chocolate and baking spices
