You can smell the age on this one. Like taking a deep breath in carpenter’s shop. The palate keeps up with that. It’s very dark with lots of char and black pepper. Finish is a little lighter, with some brown sugar and baking spice notes that linger without turning bitter.
Oaky, as expected for its age, but also slightly… minty? Slightly dry, astringent finish. Good to enjoy at least once, and on someone else’s tab I’d gladly enjoy a couple of pours. But at 90 proof and with flavors that are slightly muted with age, don’t expect the bold, rich palate you’ll find in Elijah Craig’s barrel proof offerings half the age.
