Elijah Craig 20 year old (Barrel No. 3735), 45%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2011 ● Reviewer: John Hansell ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey
From one barrel, and only sold in one location, but well worth the effort to procure a bottle. Nutty toffee, pecan pie, apricot, berried jam, and nougat, peppered with cinnamon, mint, cocoa, and tobacco. Warming, with polished leather and dried spice on the finish. Seamless, richly textured, and impeccably balanced. (Exclusive to the Bourbon Heritage Center at the Heaven Hill distillery in Bardstown, KY.)
