Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon

139.4 proof. Smell is surprisingly light, less alcohol sting than I expected. I get some oak, tea, charred marshmallows. Great spice on the palate, it kicks you in the face. but gently, with velvet slippers. Balanced wit the right amount of sugar and spice. Deep flavor that sticks to the back of your throat. Apple pie, cinnamon, salted butter, dark chocolate, nutmeg, praline. Fantastic. Nice hug. 4/14/18
