Batch A119 The nose is brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and light leather. The palate is a little sweet with vanilla and a big barrel/leathery note. And I also get a cola note. It almost seems carbonated for a second, which I’ve never gotten before from a whiskey. Maybe because it reminded me of coke? It has a thicker mouthfeel, but that gets lost with the dryness that happens to your tongue and cheeks. It really dries it out, like chalky almost. All in all I like this one, but it’s the first Barrell Proof Elijah Craig. So I can’t compare to other batches.
