Elijah Craig 23 Year Single Barrel Bourbon

2oz sample

I never want to drink this again. :( I wanted to love it

(bottled 4/7/17 barrel 83) Deeper amber in color. The Aroma was a mix of Almond and Spearmint. More oak continues to emerge as it opens. Overall an earthy sweetness here. Nice dark fruit in the flavor and a good amount of oak, but not too much. It seemed to get more savory as I spent time with it. Later in the glass vanilla takes center stage. Honey at the end. Really nice, but slightly short of epic
