Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon

[From 04/16/2024] Again, I don’t have the whiskey experience. This has a strong oak aroma and flavor. It was enjoyable. I’m having this at Bar Max inside of The Goodwin Hotel. Drinking this neat. Gold in color. Oak aroma. Oak flavor. Light body with a decent burn on the finish.

After an initial bite, it mellows out to a smooth oaky finish. Not very complex. Decent for an every day sip. Probably better options at the price.

Nose: Fruit (cherry, grape), vanilla, oak are all present on the nose. I do get some small notes of Nuts. Palate: Nose translates fairly well. Predominately rasberries, peanuts, and rye spice. Oak and Vanilla are more subtle. Finish: The mouthfeel on this one is nicer than other whiskeys in its price range. The finish could be longer and have a little more flavor but not unpleasant by any means, the peanut flavor stands out here more. Overall could definitly see this being a daily sipper type whiskey. Almost like a mix between Buffalo Trace and Jim Beam in a good way.
