This pour had the benefit of coming off of a 1792 full proof pour. Similar proofs, but this one drinks so much cooler than that 1792. Classic Elijah Craig barrel proof notes. Nothing jumps out at you either positive or negative. I definitely enjoy the nose More than the pallet and the finish. It’s quite spicy on the backend, especially in the throat, which isn’t the most enjoyable, but a nice warming hug and lingering spice balances it back out not a bad offering, but not my favorite from Elijah Craig barrel proof. Over the course of time, I found them both on the Elijah, Craig barrel, proof, and the larceny, that the “A” Releases each year are typically the weakest. Not sure if that trend continues but at least it’s been like that for the last few years so if you’re looking to skip certain offerings, the “A” offerings tend to Be the weakest
