Single barrel picks are individual barrels chosen by retailers from Heaven Hill’s warehouse, bottled at the barrel’s natural proof without blending — meaning the flavor profile is specific to that barrel’s position in the rickhouse, age, and ambient temperature exposure over its maturation period.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eElijah Craig is one of the most established names in Kentucky bourbon, produced at Heaven Hill using a high-corn mashbill (approximately 78% corn, 10% rye, 12% malted barley) aged in new charred American oak. The Eureka pick represents a single warehouse selection made by Wooden Cork — aged longer and at a higher warehouse position than the standard Elijah Craig Small Batch, which is a blend of barrels aged 8–12 years. Single barrel expressions from upper warehouse floors typically develop more concentrated vanilla and caramel character from greater temperature fluctuation cycling the spirit in and out of the wood.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, and dried fruit with light baking spice. \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-bodied — brown sugar, vanilla bean, mint, and warm spice with more concentrated oak than the standard Small Batch blend. \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warm with lingering caramel and wood spice.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heaven Hill, Bardstown, Kentucky — \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon, Single Barrel Pick — \u003cstrong\u003eMashbill:\u003c\/strong\u003e High corn, low rye — \u003cstrong\u003eSelection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wooden Cork exclusive barrel pick — \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBrowse the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bourbon\"\u003ebourbon collection\u003c\/a\u003e at Wooden Cork.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003ch4\u003eWhat makes a single barrel pick different from standard Elijah Craig Small Batch?\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eStandard Elijah Craig Small Batch is a blend of selected barrels aged 8–12 years, combined to hit a consistent flavor target. A single barrel pick is one specific barrel chosen by a retailer — Wooden Cork in this case — bottled without blending. This means the flavor is entirely determined by that barrel’s history: its position in the rickhouse, how much temperature cycling it experienced, how long it aged, and the specific wood of the barrel itself. No two single barrel picks taste identical, and the Eureka label is Wooden Cork’s designation for this specific selection.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What makes a single barrel pick different from standard Elijah Craig Small Batch?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Small Batch is a blend of 8\\u201312 year barrels combined for consistency.
