Elijah Craig 21 year old Single Barrel (No. 42), 45%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2013 ● Reviewer: John Hansell ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey
Surprisingly reserved on the oak spice; it tastes like a bourbon half its age. Soothing in nature, with layers of sweetness (honey, vanilla cream, caramel, nougat), lively complex fruit (coconut, pineapple, ripe peach, honeydew melon), and gentle cinnamon. Soft, creamy finish. A whiskey that has aged very gracefully. Delicious! (This is a single barrel; every barrel is unique.)
