Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is Heaven Hill's barrel-strength expression of its flagship bourbon, released in dated batches at the proof each one reaches in the barrel. Batch H-40 was aged 12 years and 8 months in new charred oak and bottled at 124.4 proof, uncut and without chill filtration. The long maturation builds deep, seasoned oak while the barrel-proof presentation holds on to the whiskey's concentrated caramel, vanilla, butterscotch, baked fruit, and baking-spice character.
