Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch C919

The nuttiness in this brings to mind Booker's more than it does Elijah Craig (I realize their shared yeast brings in the nuts). There's a sweetness there that is reminiscent of ECBP, but this is really just heat and nuts. It's not bad but, given my love for EC, is not nearly as good as it should be.

A really solid ECBP that carries its super-high proof very well. This one has more oak and savory spice than most, and those flavors dominate the finish. I gravitate toward a slightly sweeter profile, but if you like complexity and spice, this won’t disappoint.
