The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel is finished in barrels that are toasted rather than charred, a technique that softens tannins and adds a distinct caramelized sweetness to this Heaven Hill bourbon. The result is a noticeably rounder, dessert-leaning expression compared to the standard Elijah Craig release.
Initially reserved on the nose, this bourbon opens with time to reveal gooey caramel, pralines, Hershey's milk chocolate and a touch of charred mint leaf. The palate follows suit with rich toffee and baking spice, finishing smooth and satisfyingly sweet.
Give it a few minutes in the glass to fully open up, then sip neat or with a single ice cube. It's an excellent match for chocolate desserts, pecan pralines or a strong cup of coffee to close out a meal.

Ways To Pour It
Neat
Served on its own in a rocks glass, letting the full character come through exactly as crafted.
On The Rocks
A single large-format ice cube slowly opens things up and softens the edges as it melts.
In A Cocktail
Works well as the backbone of a simple classic — let it do the heavy lifting.
