Elijah Craig 11 year & 6 month Barrel Proof (Batch B525), 63.1%

This batch was a true standout, benefiting from a longer aging period than its recent predeces- sors. It’s powerfully proofed, as usual, but carries it well, offering flavors of raspberry tart, bitter chocolate, cinnamon, camp coffee, and balanced pepper spice. A long finish continues this great ride to the end, with the darker flavors punctuated by some vanilla sweetness, all balanced perfectly by the oak.
