After reaching full maturity in traditional charred oak, the liquid is transferred into a custom-toasted finishing barrel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese secondary barrels are crafted from 18-month air-dried European oak, toasted with a specific heat profile to extract deep sugars and complex wood flavors without the smokiness of a heavy char. The result is a bourbon that retains its classic \"Old Heaven Hill\" DNA while adding layers of caramelized sweetness and a creamy, silken mouthfeel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Deep, polished mahogany. Nose: An immediate wave of toasted marshmallow and crème brûlée. Beneath the sweetness, you’ll find notes of baking spices, rich oak, and a hint of campfire smoke.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePalate: Thick and oily on the tongue. It opens with luscious chocolate and brown sugar, transitioning into complex flavors of toasted pecans, cinnamon-dusted apples, and a touch of black pepper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Long and warming. The \"toasted\" element shines here, leaving a lingering trail of vanilla bean, cedar, and burnt sugar. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many \"finished\" whiskeys that use wine or rum casks, Toasted Barrel stays true to the bourbon profile by using 100% new oak. It is the perfect choice for enthusiasts who love a \"dessert-forward\" whiskey that doesn't sacrifice the spicy backbone of a traditional Kentucky Straight Bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePro Tip: \u003c\/strong\u003eTry it neat first to appreciate the wood influence, then add a single large ice cube. The water opens up the lighter floral and honey notes hidden beneath the oak.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"San Francisco Tequila Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55207906017448,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/9764\/6760\/files\/ElijahCraigToastedBarrelBourbon750ml.png?v=1769224778","url":"https:\/\/sftequilashop.com\/products\/elijah-craig-toasted-barrel-bourbon-750ml","provider":"San Francisco Tequila Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
