Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch C923

9.3/10 Coffee, oak, wine

This bourbon is complete. smooth transition from start to finish. creamy and full. slow onset of the bite, it doesnt bite but warms. It’s smooth like butter, perfectly porous, and completely preferential.

Nutty, maple, coffee, dark fruit, creamy vanilla. Full bodied sweet snd complex, super long and spicy finish. Pretty hot but the flavor follows thru, like a red hot cinnamon. One of the most complete bourbons ive tasted, pretty much everything i want in a bourbon.

Nose: sweet marshmallows and salted caramel with a hint of salt. Palate: very rich, coats the mouth well. Notes of sweet cherry, cream cheese icing, honey, and oak. Phenominal pour. I need one.

“A23” Nose - Cherry, vanilla, barrel, leather, vegetal. Some nutty and char notes. Some very sweet caramel notes after letting it open. Theres also these nice and subtle coffee notes. Almost smells cakey. Coffee cake with vanilla frosting. Palate - First sip is herbal light and vanilla. Second sip gettings lots of lightly charred oak and charred leather. Vanilla is consistent. Finish - Long and filling. Really warm with some deeper nuttier vanilla notes. Lots of cinnamon and black pepper follow complimentary to a proper barrel proof kentucky hug.
