Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch C919
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA

Nose - Apple, cinnamon, dried fruit, milk chocolate. Taste - Oak, caramelized sugar, cinnamon, some pepper, and chocolate. Finish - Long. Very satisfying. Not overly sweet. This is a very satisfying twist on traditional Irish pot still whiskey. Double Oak is a higher ABV than Copper Pot, at 46%. Finishing the whiskey in French oak has added a subtle hint of oak spice complexity and cognac sweetness.58.99 USD per Bottle

Maker's Mark Private Select Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed April 26, 2020 (edited June 30, 2020)Nose - Vanilla bean, oak, and cherry. Palate - Rich flavors, butter, soda bread, oak spice, deceptively strong. Finish - Oak, vanilla sweetness, and Cognac dryness. I enjoyed the extra French oak stave finishing from Maker's 46, but I wanted more of it and Maker's 46 Cask Strength Private Select delivered. This whiskey is dangerously good. Be warned, the extra proof is not noticeable and you need to be careful. On the nose, this does not smell different than the standard Maker's 46. The traditional bourbon vanilla sweetness and oak are still present, but not overwhelming. Surprisingly, even at 110.8 proof the alcohol vapor still is not present. On the palate, you are bombarded by a wall of flavor. The same Maker's 46 flavors are there but they are complimented with hints of syrup, oak, and raisin bread. Very tasty. The finish is long and clingy. The vanilla sweetness follows into the finish, along with the oak spice. The alcohol burn is completely absent. I purchased this online and I wish it was more readily available like the standard Maker's Mark Cask Strength. This is a spectacular whiskey.64.99 USD per Bottle -

Nose - Green apple, honey, orange. Taste - Butter, cereal, milk chocolate, and sugar cookies. Finish - Medium finish. Some spice. This is a blend of pot still and single malt Irish whiskey. The nose is a bit underwhelming, but the taste brings out delicious milk chocolate and sugary flavors, with a hint of coffee in the finish.35.99 USD per Bottle
