Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon

Subtle vanilla

Drinking neat out of a rocks glass Big Carmel nose maybe even Carmel corn candy would be more accurate brown sugar note as well. On the pallet astringent sweetness and baking spice and a good oak on the end. My first bottle and I am used to higher proof offerings however I like what this has to offer at this price point. you can drink neat, and as a mixer for old fashions. Money well spent

Holy batch variation, Batman. I’ve enjoyed several bottles of Elijah Craig. Normally, I rate 4 stars for the sum of the experience: juice, bottle, Heaven Hill DNA, marketing, availability and price. There is always some batch variation. However, this bottle was completely off profile. Like four standard deviations off. Drank the bottle slowly over a couple months; oxidation didn’t change it. Tastes like drinking Evan Williams Black while chewing Juicy Fruit gum. Super mellow finish. No heat, no oak, no spice. Different, but not bad.

Caramel scent. Sweet oak wood taste. Nice bite with lingering flavor.
