Elijah Craig 15 year old Single Barrel (No. 372), 54%

It lures you in with aromas of rich vanilla, toasted almonds, marzipan, butterscotch, oak, cherries, and a bit of coconut patty. The palate melds spicier flavors like cinnamon swirl ice cream, snickerdoodles, and spiced cherry preserves with strawberry jam, fudge, choco- late lava cake, and vanilla pudding. The intense finish brings cherries, blackberries, barrel spice, glove leather, and more chocolate. Excellent balance and integration throughout, carrying its high proof with grace.
