Heaven Hill announced today the limited release of Elijah Craig Beer Barrel Finish in partnership with Goose Island Beer Company. Offered as a curbside release at Heaven Hill Distillery’s Kentucky visitor experiences, it is aged in barrels that stored both Bourbon and beer also includes a live virtual tasting experience with experts from Heaven Hill Distillery and Goose Island, the company said.

Bottled in the traditional Elijah Craig 200ml packaging, the 94 proof Bourbon with virtual tasting experience

Only three barrels were used to finish this Bourbon, originally beginning their life as a new, level three charred oak aging Heaven Hill’s traditional Bourbon mashbill, per a press release. The freshly emptied barrels then travelled to Chicago to eventually age the award-winning Goose Island Bourbon County Stout released on Black Friday 2018. The barrels then travelled back to Kentucky for a third life finishing fully matured Elijah Craig Small Batch for 10 months.
