TASTING NOTES – ELIJAH CRAIG BARREL PROOF

Nose

It opens immediately with an important hint of caramel, followed by notes of burnt sugar and crème brulee. There are also marked woody components, in this case aged oak. In addition, vanilla in pods and alcohol preserved cherries can be noted. Finally, intense notes of pecan.

Palate

Wood, caramel and an explosive peppering. Oak and cherry in spirit. A shade of citrus (cedar zest). Buttery and rich.

Finish

Medium long, with hints of vanilla, a menthol component and a riot of wood spices.

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is overall a bourbon whose high ABV provides an explosive character and an intense aromatic palette. Very structured and rich, it is certainly worth trying.
