Elijah Craig 18 Year Old
90 proof 18 years Bourbon Heaven Hill Bardstown, KY $150 78% corn, 12% malted barley, 10% rye

Green notes with orange, butter, toasted oak sweetness, chocolate orange, caramel, beautiful color

Fruity with brown sugar, apples, cherries, peaches, fruit compote character, bittersweet oak and tannic notes, honey drip like a honey cough drop without menthol, slightly watery rather than viscous, not mouth-coating

Medium finish with lingering bitterness from oak and tannins

Pleasant
A balanced 18-year-old with beautiful fruity nose and exploratory oak character, though the proof-down and medium finish limit its overall impact.
