Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon

B517, 124.2 proof. Tastes both floral and a bit nutty. Strong flavors, and spicy. Long finish. Feels like it needs to open up a bit. Will have to try it again later. 11/13/17 With a few drops of Old Limestone, it really opens up the nose. Heightens the spice. Whiskey of the Year? Maybe, maybe not. But definitely delicious. 12/11/17 A118, 130.6 proof. Rich nose. Deep caramel. Rich palate as well. Classic notes, pleasant sweetness. Fantastic char notes. Doesn't drink like its proof. 5/27/18 B518, 133.4 proof. Fresh scents on the nose, like newly washed linens. A bit 9f beef jerky as well. On the palate, this is all backend. Almost muted initially, but the spice and heat explode, great hug on this. Baking spice, oak, roasted marshmallow, char, with dark chocolate on the finish. Good stuff. 5/27/18

Batch: C917 Proof: 131 Eye: Dark orange Nose: Apples, oranges, tobacco, slight oak, caramel Palate: Burst of flavor with creme brûlée and rich butterscotch complemented by a mild oak. Velvety, warm mouthfeel with very long finish of sweetness and oak. Hands down my favorite bourbon.
