Elijah Craig 20 year old (Barrel No. 3742), 45%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2012 ● Reviewer: John Hansell ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey
The second 20 year old single barrel release, sold at Heaven Hill's Bourbon Heritage Center. (I rated the first one a 96.) Like its predecessor, this one sports a beautiful nose — and beginning of the palate — with toffee, nougat, pecan pie, and coconut truffle. But some fairly aggressive, tactile oak on the finish keeps this whiskey from earning a higher rating.
