First time trying. Enjoying neat Nose - not much here. I get vanilla and caramel. Taste - hot vanilla starts this one off. This pretty much stays the same throughout the beginning, middle and finish. A lot of vanilla and some fruity flavors. The finish is rather short with even more vanilla and the fruit really starts to come out more. Overall - I have to say this is not my favorite from the Elijah Craig barrel proofs. Anyone who likes vanilla will be in love. For 60$ it’s a good buy but would not spend more.
