Arkansas Barrel Heads Announces Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Proof Pick

Arkansas Barrel Heads (ABH) has revealed details for its upcoming Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Proof single barrel — and it’s already shaping up to be one of the club’s most anticipated releases of the year.

According to ABH founder Abe Wyly, the barrel clocks in at a bold 132 proof, aged 10.5 years, with 140 bottles available exclusively to club members. Priced at $90.49 before tax, the selection was made possible through a collaboration with Purspirit Liquor and features custom sticker art designed by Steve Crowe.

A Monster of a Barrel

Wyly described the whiskey as “Elijah Craig Barrel Proof turned up to eleven.” The tasting notes promise a classic Elijah Craig profile elevated by the toasted finish: caramel, vanilla, and marshmallow cream dominate the nose, while the palate delivers a rich, bold, and balanced experience with a lingering finish.

“The nose is flat-out unreal—one of the best I’ve ever experienced,” Wyly said. “This is the kind of pour you don’t just drink… you remember.”

The Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Proof will be distributed through the club’s Central Arkansas network once bottles arrive, ensuring members can pick up locally.
