Elijah Craig Ryder Cup Limited Edition European Toasted Oak Barrel Finished, 47%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2023 ● Reviewer: Julia Higgins ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey
A pleasantly dry, musty nose calls to mind flipping through the pages of an old book, but it’s livened up by plenty of citrus—namely orange peel and orange-cranberry muffin, maple candies, cinnamon spice oatmeal, and applesauce. Cinnamon takes precedence on the palate, joined by dark chocolate, maple syrup, and a hint of earthiness. The mid-length finish is chock-full of baking chocolate and baking spice, making for an enjoyable experience.
