PUBLISH DATE: December 30, 2023

Spa City Bourbon Group has a fresh barrel pick hitting shelves today, and Elijah Craig fans won’t want to miss this one. Available now at Warehouse on Main in Little Rock, this latest selection is an Elijah Craig Barrel Proof that delivers a flavor profile well outside the traditional expectations of the brand.

This barrel leans into sweetness and complexity rather than raw heat, making it a standout among recent Elijah Craig picks.

The Pick: Elijah Craig Barrel Proof

This single-barrel Elijah Craig offering showcases a more nuanced and approachable side of barrel proof bourbon. While still packing plenty of character, it drinks smoother than expected and opens up beautifully with layered dessert-style notes.

Barrel Details:

• Distillery: Heaven Hill Distillery
• Brand: Elijah Craig
• Expression: Barrel Proof (Single Barrel Selection)
• Barrel Number: 6834816
• Age: 8+ Years
• Bottling Proof: 114 proof
• Selected By: Spa City Bourbon Group
• Available At: Warehouse on Main – Little Rock, Arkansas

Tasting Notes

This barrel stands apart from the classic oak-forward Elijah Craig profile, delivering a sweeter and more fruit-driven experience:

• Nose & Palate: Fruit-forward and inviting
• Flavor Notes: Honey, nougat, raspberry
• Finish: Light Kentucky hug with lingering sweetness

It’s a complex and unique Elijah Craig that balances proof, flavor, and drinkability exceptionally well.

Availability & Stickers

Bottles are available now at Warehouse on Main, with Happy and the Warehouse crew handling the release. Stickers are still on the way, and Spa City Bourbon Group will notify everyone once they arrive for those who’d like to grab one and apply it themselves.

Why This Pick Stands Out

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof releases are known for bold intensity, but this barrel shows a different side of the brand—one that highlights sweetness, balance, and layered flavor over sheer power. It’s a reminder of just how much variation a single barrel can bring, even within a familiar label.

If you’re a fan of fruit-forward bourbons or looking for an Elijah Craig that breaks the mold, this one is well worth the hunt.

This Spa City Bourbon Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is a reminder that some of the best bottles in Arkansas come from carefully selected single barrels. Sweet, complex, and highly approachable for a barrel proof release, this pick is a must-try for Elijah Craig fans and bourbon hunters alike.
