Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch C918

Floral nose with a caramel undertone. Smoother on the pallette than other batches but still a monster of a bourbon. Spicy but light with a quickly spiking burn. Lasting finish of brown sugar and mild rye and oak with some of the earlier flavors cycling through in good complexity. I squint and I can peel some mint out. This is everything a burbon should be, but probably too big for some.

Excellent taste and finish

This is awesome. Super rich super buttery. Really good

Very strong tasting. Good sweet flavor to balance the burn though

Fabulous. Tasted with a cigar, polish sausage and sauerkraut. A little alcohol on the nose, as expected for a barrel strength bourbon, but very smooth drinking. It is good both neat, and on the rocks. Notes of caramel and plum up front, fading to leather and smoke. One of my first “mid-range” bourbons, and quite a delight.
