4.0 stars - Excellent
Some of my friends are intelligent and well read. Some are sophisticated and well travelled. Some have a great sense of humor and impeccable timing. Elijah Craig is like that friend I have known since second grade and who will show up at 9 AM on a Saturday to help move my furniture. Dependable, enjoyable, with no fuss.
I have purchased 5 bottles, which places it in rare company since usually I am looking for that next new whiskey. Love the taste profile, love the price and availability, and I even love the bottle. Tastes great neat, with one cube, or on the rocks. Only complaint is the finish is a little hot.

And the occasional single barrel variety clocking in at $25 is about all you can ask for - I’m with you on this one (and would guess that JTS BiB and the rest of the HH sub labels also perform better than expected)
(Part 1) Victory! After 300+ bottles I am finally ready to declare my favorite daily drinkers. Available, affordable, tailored to my palate, and delightful any day of the week. Elijah Craig Small Batch is my benchmark whiskey. It is my very definition of bourbon. If any bottle is worse than EC, I give it away after a few glasses. If any bottle is better than EC, I celebrate my good fortune. This is the Swiss Army knife of whiskey, a capable and versatile solution to a variety of situations.
