Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch A121

Nose: oak, cinnamon, honey, graham cracker Palate: baking spices, black pepper, acidic fruit from the heat Finish: dark chocolate, oak, very long Overall: oak with a touch of heat. One of the more balanced batches. Finish is simple yet effective and lingering. Consistent, not overly complex but hits standard bourbon notes and a good price. Good to always have on the shelf when I want oak and proof. 6 on the t8ke scale

It packs a punch but very smooth

Vanilla, caramel, oak, creme brulee, tobacco, leather, some black pepper, semisweet, silky, a little hot. Bottom line: delicious!

Nose: buttered popcorn, vanilla, caramel - delicious! Palate: black pepper spice, oak, cherries - silky Finish: butter popcorn (again!), somewhat dry - totally pleasant

Initially caramel and pepper. Opens up into strawberry and green apple blow pop
