Nose: Faint wisps of brown sugar and vanilla with some smoke and proof.
Palate: Baking spices and graham cracker upfront and throughout most of the palate before giving way to some sweeter notes including classic vanilla but more spice with oak.
Finish: Short-medium finish with spice, and tannic oak
So this is Elijah Craig's "double oak" offering. This sits right between Old Forester 1910 (Sweeter) and Woodford Double Oaked (Oakier.) The nose on this one isn't as sweet as the other two, but the palate isn't as woody as Woodford. While this is an acceptable sipper, it's a bit middling in the double-barrel game.
