Allocated where I live and picked this up for $55 bottle when I saw it in stock. Neat, rocks glass: It's a fairly one dimensional bourbon but man do I love it. This bourbon is all toasted marshmallows roasted over a campfire with hints of oak and baking spice throughout. Nice finish that lingers quite a while. Decent mouth feel but nothing exceptional considering the low proof. I wouldn't put this over ice but i think it make a decent, albeit sweet, old fashioned.55.0 USD per Bottle

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed January 21, 2022 (edited February 2, 2022)Rock glass, neat Nose - extremely robust with many typical notes ranging from oak, vanilla, brown sugar, and a certain rich, dank, deep barrel essence. Vibrant and rich. Taste - the whiskey really opens up with a mellowing sweetness and spicy notes. A bit hot and drying from the proof, but extremely smooth, almost melting away. Finish - long and warm with lingering brown sugar sweetness, oak, and barrel spice. Overall, this whiskey has an amazing nose that carries through the entire sip. -

Finish: very smooth with lingering oak and spiciness. Overall, a sweet whiskey that is well balanced with oak, wood, spicy notes that opens up with each sip. A great go to sipper with very little heat.36.0 USD per Bottle

Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed October 30, 2020 (edited November 8, 2020)(Rock glass, neat) Nose: vanilla frosted cake drizzled in caramel, very sweet with hints a barrel spice and mild oak. Taste: very smooth with a little heat towards the throat. Very sweet and represents a continuation of the nose. Balanced with sweet spice up front then softens into smooth vanilla caramel and pleasant heat. Finish: pleasantly warm but never overpowering. Lingering sweetness and barrel spice that lasts for quite some time. Overall: it smells exactly how it tastes. A very balanced and sweet bourbon that has a nice, warm finish. There's not a lot of complexity and seems to dance back and forth between barrel spice, light oak and vanilla frosted cake drizzled in caramel. An easy sipper with a nice, smooth kick.42.0 USD per Bottle
