Tastes

Nose: sweet bread Taste: tart, smooth, nice flavor with a bread finish. Morning toast. Finish: smooth and long.

Nose: Luxardo cherry Taste: sweet, honey big flavor savory Finish: dry oaky If I could buy a bottle I would only purchase this forever! I’m a Weller antique, Elijah Craig fan, but this is awesome! Best of the antique, coming from a Handy fan!!

Of the three tasted tonight, hands down the winner. Picked up smoke/peat? Zero sting very smooth.

Tasty served neat. Not sure there is much to talk on. Has nothing that makes me remember it

Enjoyed neat. Tasty almost salted caramel popcorn. Slight spice with very green herbal flavor.

Nose: clove and honey, sweet no ethanol Taste: butterscotch candies Finish: crisp with warm, sweet pie Very surprised how good this is.

Higher score due to price and proof. Nose: luxardo cherry and back end faint strawberry, honey…werthers caramel chews Taste: black cherry, cinnamon, butter scotch sweet but lays hot on the tongue Finish: big bold spicy finish. Doesn’t linger, but last on the outside of the tongue. Warms up the inside. Tasted neat with no water. Tasted along with the single barrel, which I felt was a longer finish, but not as good as the 125 proof.

Nose: caramel, cherry, ethanol Taste: flat cherry coke. Sweet cherry vanilla, soft subtle cinnamon spice Finish: lingers with a nice warm burn in the finish. Cinnamon candies. For the cost I can recommend and would buy again for $21. Better than Benchmark. Not BT, but for the price and availability, I’d purchase again and share with friends.

Nose: ehh Taste: brown sugar, simple Finish: ehh

Received from a bourbon fan in 2020. Nose: chewed minty gum, wet hay Taste: well rounded with a slight hint of heat. Soft easy to drink. Finish: it lingers but not long Glad I was able to try it. Was a nice Elijah Craig.
