Elijah Craig Small Batch - NAS - Old Bottle Style. The nose is quite soft for 94 proof. I get red fruit, butterscotch, brown sugar, oak, leather, cinnamon, marshmallow and vanilla. Some smoke and maple syrup rise to the surface with more time in the glass. Arrival on the palate is gentle with a thin and watery mouthfeel. Flavors of honey and red fruit take the lead, followed by brown sugar, oak, tea and cinnamon. On the finish oak and tea sit atop brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Elijah Craig Small Batch is an enjoyable bourbon and a very good value at $26-$28. Three stars.
