Elijah Craig Small Batch Single Barrel Select

BWG Pick, Barrel # 6902174 A light easy sipping Elijah Craig single barrel pick. The flavor profile is pretty similar to the standard offering with light caramel, suble vanilla, and the typical Elijah Craig oak notes. The finish is light, with only a light oak remaining.

Received a blind sample from a friend. Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium amber. Nose: A marzipan note dominates the nose with some dark fruit and caramel underneath. Palate: Oak and baking spice give way to a spicy clove note. Finish: Medium length with medium heat. The clove note lingers. Splash: No new flavors are revealed. Overall: 7.5/10 - I feel like I’ve had something similar before. The strong oak and clove in the palate makes me think this is an older expression, but it could use more heat in the finish.

Private Barrel Rishi's "KitKat" Single Barrel Barrel # 6833519 Rickhouse J Floor 3 On the nose, there's notes of caramel, wafer, peanut, maple, and some leather and oak in the back. Heavy dark caramel on the palate. Peanut brittle going into oak. Nice spicy burn at the end. There's little unique notes im finding throughout with each different sip. This is a first for me as for as EC private barrels, (not including the barrel proofs.) And I'm enjoying it.

Smooth, could use more oak.
