Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch A121

Nose is dense toasted Walnut with crabapple. Taste Carmel followed by heavy cinnamon then into oak spice and walnut. Finishes long starts out cinnamon drifts into a buttery caramel.

Neat. Burns.

Cracked this bottle with @thechad this is my first bottle of ECBP I’ve owned and am pretty excited for it. Nose: baked apples, apple pie crust, caramelized sugars, baking spices. Little to no ethanol detected on the nose just super sweet apple pie Palate: the apple pie continues. It has the mouthfeel of the sweet sauce that oozes out of a warm apple pie. It really costs the mouth with baking spices and syrup Finish: finish has a touch of heat and cinnamon like a cinnamon altoid.

Neat Glencairn Nose: This has an apple pie nose — baked apples, toasted pie crust, cinnamon, cloves and toasted turbinado sugar. Nice and delicate with absolutely no ethanol burn. Palate: The nose carries over 1:1 to the palate - baked apples, toasted pie crust, baking spices and toasted turbinado sugar - but also adds a nice, sweet oak and leather character. Finish: Once again, the nose and palate carry over 1:1 but now I also pick up a light spearmint/menthol characteristic. 87/100 Absolutely no ethanol burn to this dram. This would make an excellent dessert whiskey, but also stands up well for an anytime dram. An instant classic and favorite. Thanks for letting me taste, @TravHernandez!
