Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch C918
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed April 3, 2019 (edited April 6, 2019)Nose - surprisingly not a lot of heat, initially get a lot of light fruit - Juicy green apple, peer and cherries. Get the oak char on the back end and maybe a hint of orange zest. Palate - medium but nice mouth feel. Coating and drying but not over dry. Get that initial fruity sweetness that quickly turns into a lot of vanilla and oak. Definitely hot but not too hot where you can’t sift through all the flavor. Finish - medium to long finish. Pepper and alspice. Get the good ole Kentucky hug at the end. Definitely one of my favorites. -
Excellent for my palate. Super underrated IMO. Nose is very ethanol forward initially but after sitting for a few minutes get a lot of vanilla, sugar and oak notes. The initial mouth feel is probably the most enjoyable aspect of this Bourbon for me. Very light and coating with a rush of sweetness. Get a lot of brown sugar and vanilla on the palate. The finish is short and spicy. Every aspect of this bourbon is enjoyable. Haven’t seen any glowing reviews of this bourbon but for me it’s one of the best bangs for your buck. Highly recommend.
