Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon

Great nose Full and thorough finish Still smooth for barrel proof Whiskey Club - Doug’s house

So smooth for a barrell proof! Notes of black cherry, leather and more subtle fruit. Wonderful finish.

Barrel makes it strong, but flavors still come through.

Wow. What an awesome bourbon. Mine is batch A119 at 135.2 proof. Very complex and smooth for such a high abv.

The nose of batch B517 immediately hits you with oak, rye spiciness, leather, soft pepper and a hint of chocolate, which all softens as it breathes. The palate is dry with oak upfront along side pepper and rye, followed by toasted vanilla, and a hint of caramel and mint. The finish is long, dry and spicy with oak, rye, pepper and fading vanilla. Not a complicated whiskey but it is excellent in what it brings to the table.
