Elijah Craig 18 Year Single Barrel Bourbon

Mine was the 2015 release. Again you can't go wrong with E.C. Though a single barrel older by 6 years this release has little to recommend it beyond the 12 year Craig. A little smokier than the younger bottling it's not enough to justify the significant difference in price. That this site has rated is only $$ in terms of expense is suspicious.

Mellow at first and slowly kicks in towards the back end. So much wood and oak. Delicious.

The 12 year is excellent.

This is probably the best bottle of whiskey I've had. Brown sugar in the nose and palate. Aged to perfection. I couldn't believe I landed a bottle.
