Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel A Sweet Finish to the Reverend’s Story

In this episode of Aussie Bourbon Lovers, we crack into the elusive and delicious Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel – a re-barreled, flash-charred masterpiece that’s harder to find in Australia than a good cork pop.

We talk about:

• 🔥 The difference between toasting and charring a barrel

• 🍫 Flavour notes of marshmallow, chocolate, and campfire goodness

• 🪵 Why rebarreling into toasted barrels gives a layered flavour profile

• 🥃 How this stacks up against classic Elijah Craig and Michter’s Toasted

• 🌏 And why this bottle is so hard to get outside the U.S.

If regular Elijah Craig is your gateway, the Toasted Barrel is your dessert.
