Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a small batch bourbon.
The Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is always bottled as a 12 year old and, although it is not mentioned on the front label, this does appear on the back label.
Each batch of Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is an uncut Small Batch of 12-year-old Bourbon bottled straight from the barrel.
The variance in proof from batch to batch presents a unique opportunity to explore the impact of the angel’s share and the resulting proof in a small batch of barrels.
The first letter of the batch number indicates which of that year’s releases the bottle was a part of, starting with “A,” while the second digit is a number that determines the month of the year the bottle was released while the third and fourth digits indicate the year.
Nose: A blast of rich oak, maple and caramel followed with more subtle hints of apple cinnamon and orange.
Palate: It welcomes you with heat and dry oak, but also mixes in some sweet caramel. Fruit notes also become more prevalent as your tongue adjusts to the initial blast of oak and heat.
Finish: It’s moderate to long flavour finishes with a spicy heat that lingers longer than most. It’s a fantastic ride of high flavor that continues to reveal more depth even in its finish.
