Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon

Batch A120. Spicy alcohol and pepper, mellows to baking spice and apple and a vanilla sweetness. Long oily finish that has the taste of cinnamon

Neat. Smoother burn with the spice and barrel proof. Notes of vanilla, caramel & oak.

Packs a spicy punch! Great oaky notes.

Deep Amber in Color, nose of Cherry and charred oak. Slight vanilla and lots of nutty notes, more pecan. Flavor is also nutty, with toasted or dark caramel. Peppery long finish. Certainly warming. Lots of tannins. After a few drops of water a floral Aroma found and more nut notes in flavor. More prickly with water. (posted this to specific batch as well) B518

Sticks to the glass and lingers after a quick swirl. The color is of orange marmalade. On the nose there is oak, caramel and cedar. After sipping I get werthers candies, spice and oak. A touch of cinnamon on the finish, accentuated with the more drops of water I add. It is sweet and sticky. The aftertaste is squelched by the alcohol and tannins. This pour gets points for getting me into more barrel proof bourbons. But it isn’t as complex or balanced as I once thought. Nevertheless, a good whiskey.
