Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch A120

Alcohol, baking spice, pepper, apple and vanilla.. long oily finish coats the mouth, holds on with a tinge of cinnamon

Oak on the nose. Spicy cherry candy on the palate. Long, warm finish. Excellent

On the nose - butterscotch, baking spices, oak, molasses, burnt sugars, vanilla spice cake reminiscent of Thanksgiving time. On the palate - loads of cinnamon spice upfront, burnt sugars, caramel, toffee, and vanilla. Makes me desire some French toast. A wee bit drying towards the end considering the proof. Although a few sips in now and it is becoming more creamier and the proof isn’t as apparent. Excellent!

Absolutely fantastic nose, sweet caramel and a touch of wood and alcohol. The palate is a yeasty cinnamon roll but the alcohol jumps to the front. Add ice, and there is no stopping. Delicious.

Pretty smooth, a little buttery slash oily. Overall pretty solid. C919 edges this one out just barely in my book.

Just blind it, regardless of price this is an exceptional bourbon. At $59 it’s a must buy in my book. Love the C918, A120 , I like the C919 slightly better out of the three. Splitting hairs I know, similar, but I’m a proof guy and C919 is a very balanced medley of caramel, vanilla, brown sugar, nutmeg, tobacco(light), red fruit, and sweet oak. The C919 edges this (sweater, smoother, higher proof) but still great. ECBP is the best available bourbon I can find most all the time and would put against most all of those you will never find( except WLW). A120 is REALLY good but C919 is best so far for me.
