Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Toasted Bourbon Single Barrel 9 Year 130.1 Proof 750ml

Heaven Hill's Most Daring Expression, Barrel by Barrel

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is already one of the most celebrated releases in American bourbon — a thrice-yearly, uncut, unfiltered expression from Heaven Hill that has earned near-perfect scores and a devoted following. This Toasted Barrel Single Barrel variant pushes the concept even further. After aging in standard new charred oak, the bourbon is finished in a second barrel with a toasted (rather than charred) stave profile, unlocking a deeper layer of sweetness, complexity, and wood-driven character that sets it apart from any other Elijah Craig in the lineup. Every single barrel tells its own story — and proof varies bottle to bottle.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Intensely aromatic — brown sugar, toasted oak, vanilla custard, dried fig, and a whisper of cinnamon from the toasted stave finish
• Palate: Rich and layered with dark caramel, baking spice, roasted nuts, leather, and a pronounced sweetness amplified by the toasted barrel influence
• Finish: Long, warming, and complex — lingering oak sweetness, dark chocolate, and a gentle heat that evolves beautifully as it opens up
