Elijah Craig Small Batch, 47%
Price: $30 ● Issue: Fall 2018 ● Reviewer: Jeffery Lindenmuth
A solid, basic bourbon, with pure sweetness, honey, marzipan, and wildflower notes. The sweet drive is nicely backed with drying oak on the pronounced finish, like sucking on a sweet and woody cherry Popsicle stick. A simple and enjoyable crowd pleaser, and smaller sibling to the Barrel Proof, our 2017 Whisky of the Year.
