Tastes

Nose: Cinnamon, caramelized oak, vanilla, and nuttiness. Take your time with this one. Palate/finish: Mouth-coating. Sweet oak and dark brown sugar with a bit of cherry. Vanillas and caramels. Classic ECBP at full volume. Finishes with a bit of dryness and oak. Spicy with a bit of cinnamon bark and cherry lingering. Best Elijah Craig Barrel Proof in years. Hell, best bourbon I've had in a good while. Powerful oak but not astringent, proofy but not a ton of ethanol. This is a beast of a bourbon that is packed with flavor, while being among the most balanced ECBPs I've had. HH has definitely been holding out on us.
