Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Bourbon

Tonight, I tried Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel. It is delicious. A very smooth vanilla nutty flavor with a subtle apricot and char finish. Love this one.

Got this as a surprise Xmas gift. I say surprise because it is very hard to find by me. Especially for MSRP. But the inlaws managed. I digress. Average rating was lower than I expected based on my experience. This was very well made. Nose was enticing with its vanilla, cinnamon, and oak subtleties. Flavor contained a fair amount of spice. Not to the level claimed by the main Distiller review. Somewhat compared to cinnamon candy. Oak and char appear later and onto the long finish which was drying. As I proceeded to sip, a hint of vanilla and/or chocolate essence emerged. Sweetness was minimized. This always had me going back for a second pour. Definitely memorable IMHO. Would revisit for sure.

This is like a heath bar with vanilla ive cream. Seems like a pecan note goes thru it. Thanks brah! This is amazing stuff. Can’t agree with the tasting notes shown. There’s definitely spicey notes but ‘painful’? Not even. Although, I like spice....
