Elijah Craig Single Barrel Cask Strength – Release #3
Elijah Craig Single Barrel Cask Strength Release #3 is a Barrel & Batch exclusive Private Barrel selection, chosen to showcase the richer, more powerful influence a different rickhouse can have on the very same bourbon.
Produced from the identical 11-year Heaven Hill rye mash bill as Release #2, this barrel matured in the Deatsville rickhouse, creating a whiskey with greater oak intensity, deeper caramel character and a bolder overall profile. Bottled at 127.1 proof, it delivers remarkable concentration while highlighting the dramatic influence of barrel location on the final whiskey.
Nose: Toasted oak and char lead the way, layered with vanilla, dark caramel and a hint of cinnamon.
Palate: Bold and barrel-forward, with seasoned oak and firm tannins framing dark caramel, vanilla and warming baking spice.
Finish: Long, robust and oak-driven, with lingering char, baking spice and a stronger Kentucky hug.
