Concentrated and complex with the fourth component (dusty Heaven Hill element) distinctly altering the expected Elijah Craig barrel proof profile.

Palate

Extremely concentrated with layered depth from the multi-component blend. Rich and structured.

Extended and warming.

Really good

A thoughtfully composed blend demonstrating how a vintage dusty component can add unexpected complexity to modern barrel proof whiskeys.
