Elijah Craig 18 Year Old Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Elijah Craig 18 Year Old Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Elijah Craig 18 Year Old Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is bottled from one expertly chosen barrel after eighteen years in new charred oak, at 90 proof. Heaven Hill’s tasters reject casks that do not hold up that long; the survivors get a handwritten barrel number and bottling date. Eighteen years in Kentucky heat can dry a bourbon out; keeping this at 90 proof is how Heaven Hill keeps the oak from shouting down honey, cherry, and chocolate. Worth keeping around for slow sips and simple cocktails.
Aged oak, spiced vanilla, mint, and chocolate on the nose. The palate is nutty and semisweet: honey, toasted wood, char, orange peel, and cherry, with cocoa and a little tobacco. It finishes lively, then lingers with vanilla and pepper.
