PUBLISH DATE: November 28 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bourbon Club of Arkansas (BCA)<\/strong> has officially announced one of its most ambitious and premium barrel selections to date: a 10-year, barrel-proof single barrel from Elliot Brothers<\/strong>, sourced from Heaven Hill<\/strong> and finished in toasted French oak Malbec wine casks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This release represents a milestone for the club\u2014not only in age and finishing technique, but also in overall investment. While BCA is known for delivering exceptional value in the sub-$100 range, this one-time selection pushed beyond that threshold for a reason: the whiskey was simply too good to pass up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes This Pick Special<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to BCA leadership, the barrel was sampled at 10 years old<\/strong> and immediately secured after tasting. The result is a deeply layered, full-proof bourbon with rich color, bold structure, and a dessert-leaning profile that stood out even among seasoned selections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite being a premium release, Ace Liquor<\/strong> worked with the club to reduce pricing for members\u2014bringing the bottle well below typical market cost for a finished, 10-year, barrel-proof bourbon of this caliber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \ud83c\udfed About Elliot Brothers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            Elliot Brothers is a modern whiskey brand built around selectively sourcing mature Kentucky bourbon<\/strong> and elevating it through thoughtful finishing and blending techniques<\/strong>. Rather than distilling in-house, the brand focuses on transparency, barrel selection, and secondary maturation\u2014often incorporating wine or specialty casks to add depth and complexity without overpowering the base spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            By working with established distilleries such as Heaven Hill and applying controlled finishing programs, Elliot Brothers has carved out a reputation for producing limited, high-impact releases<\/strong> aimed at experienced bourbon drinkers seeking something distinctive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            This BCA selection marks one of the brand\u2019s older and more ambitious finished bourbon releases to reach Arkansas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
