Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon

Nutty, caramel notes

Cinnamon with a little vanilla. Not very sweet… not very good.

Nose: oak, tobacco, butterscotch Palate: caramel apple, toffee Finish: oak, cayenne pepper, vanilla Pleasantly surprised with how long the oaky finish is on this one. One of the best bourbons for its low price point. Value: A-, by no means a phenomenal bourbon but for only $32 a bottle it’s a great deal

Always a solid pour, semi sweet up front with a nice oaky warm finish, not a fantastic pour but always solid and should be in everyone’s cabinet

The nose on this bourbon is rather odd. I still haven't decided if I'm for it or against it. Reminds me a little bit of licorice and sharpie. Luckily it tastes better than it smells. This bourbon isn't nearly as sweet as others. It reminds me a bit of a milder Willet Pot Still reserve. Its a bit herbaceous and spicy. If you're a bourbon drinker and you jump between different $30~ish bottles for your daily drink this one is cool to throw in the rotation to break up monotony. But if your tastes tend to lean toward sweet, maybe keep this one off your radar.
