About the Whisky:
Named after the father of Bourbon Rev. Elijah Craig this limited release Small Batch, twelve-year-old Bourbon is bottled at Barrel Proof and without chill filtering, preserving the natural flavors produced during the aging process. At full Barrel Proof, you can enjoy the Bourbon much the same way our Master Distiller does when he samples straight from the barrel or, if you choose, add water to reduce the proof to your liking.
Tasting Notes:
Color: Deep Amber
Aroma: Caramel with oak, fruit notes of apple and orange
Taste: Caramel, vanilla and butterscotch along with spices of black pepper and cinnamon in the back of the palate
Finish: Nice layered finish of all flavors; fades slowly with a hint of cool spearmint at the most lingering end

"Rich and layered on the nose, with butter-pecan ice cream, rum cake, jalapeño, apricot, peanut butter cookie, leather, and tobacco. Spicy herbs meld with salted peanuts and Red Hots on the palate, which, when water is added, showcases nutty brownies and whipped cream. An earthy finish brings green chiles, dried leaves, and hints of coffee. It’s a big whiskey that still shows adept balance."
“The nose will knock you off your feet. Lots of rye, barrel, heath bar and leather. The palate is ridiculously viscous, with cinnamon candies, rye, barrel, roasted vanilla bean and chocolate.”
