Heaven Hill Distillery, Bardstown, Kentucky — three bottles from Heaven Hill's lineup that together demonstrate what finishing and mash bill variation do to the same distillery's core bourbon character: the standard small batch baseline, the wheated alternative, and the toasted oak-finished expression that shows how secondary barrel contact transforms the base spirit.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bundle is structured around a single question: what does each production decision add? Elijah Craig Small Batch is the anchor — the consistent 94-proof upper rick house expression that defines Heaven Hill's core bourbon character. Larceny Small Batch replaces rye with wheat as the secondary grain, producing bread, butterscotch, and honey in place of the rye's pepper and spice — showing what mash bill variation does to the same distillery's output. Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel takes the Small Batch after full maturation and finishes it in a custom toasted new oak barrel, adding caramelized wood sugars, cinnamon, clove, and a dessert-forward spice layer that the primary aging cannot produce — showing what secondary finishing does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree bottles, three distinct production decisions, one Kentucky distillery. A coherent educational bundle and an excellent gift for any bourbon enthusiast who wants to understand what they're tasting and why.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContents\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eElijah Craig Toasted Barrel Bourbon\u003c\/strong\u003e (750ml) — Small Batch finished in toasted new oak, 94 proof\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eElijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon\u003c\/strong\u003e (750ml) — 94 proof, upper rick house aged\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLarceny Small Batch Bourbon\u003c\/strong\u003e (750ml) — wheated, 92 proof, 6–12yr\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eElijah Craig Toasted Barrel — Nose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toasted oak with rich caramel. \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Big, rich, and complex with spice, pepper, and milk chocolate. \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warming with lingering chocolate and baking spices.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eElijah Craig Small Batch — Nose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak. \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel, vanilla, and baking spice. \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm and moderately long with lingering oak spice.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLarceny Small Batch — Nose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm bread, toffee, and butterscotch. \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel, orange blossom honey, and bread pudding. \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, layered, and savory.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse our full selection of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/whiskey\"\u003ebourbon and whiskey at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the toasted barrel finishing add to Elijah Craig?\u003c\/strong\u003e The custom toasted new oak barrel adds caramelized wood sugars, cinnamon, and clove over the Small Batch foundation — a dessert-forward layer from the lower-heat toasting process that creates complexity the primary charred barrel aging cannot produce.
