Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey

Description

Named for the man who discovered the method of making true Bourbon when he stored his wares in barrels that had been charred in a fire. Pouring a golden amber colour it opens with sweet oak, vanilla and caramel aromas; the palate is medium weight with flavours of peach and toffee followed by a long, spicy finish.

Tasting Notes

... [This] can justifiably be considered the first 'small batch' bourbon, although it predates the introduction of that term. Elijah Craig is a classic Bourbon, with sweet, mature aromas of caramel, vanilla, spice and honey, plus a sprig of mint. Rich, full-bodied and rounded on the mellow palate, with caramel, malt, corn, rye and a hint of smoke. Sweet oak, liquorice and restrained vanilla dominate the finish. Score - 4 Stars (out of 5).
