Elijah Craig Small Batch 94 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (2024) 70cl

Elijah Craig has long been a favourite bourbon of many whiskey enthusiasts - to the point where their stocks of 12 year old bourbon have been under a lot of pressure. The producers made the decision to discontinue the 12 Year Old expression and create this expression to take its place. It manages to maintain the incredibly high quality that Elijah Craig is known for, including the delicious core of cooked apple drizzled in honey notes. This expression has been well received, taking home not one but two San Francisco World Spirits Competition Double Gold medals!

TASTING NOTES

Color: Deep, rich chestnut honey hue, due to aging for 8 to 12 years in char #3 new American oak barrels

Nose: Just-ripe banana, ripe apples, butter cookies, vanilla bean

Palate: For a whiskey that’s 47% ABV, this bourbon manages an impressive balance of flavor and heat straight out of the bottle. It’s round, plush, and sweet on the palate, with well-integrated peppery spice notes.

Finish: The vanilla and caramel sweetness that starts from the first sip lingers on the finish, with a drying note of toast and spice.
