Elijah Craig Barrel Proof B520
~120+ proof
8-10 years
Bourbon
Heaven Hill
Bardstown, KY
Nose
Deep butterscotch and caramel with subtle medicinal or varnish notes. Layered baking spice, sugar smacks cereal, and caramel sweetness.
Palate
Heavy oak character upfront. Mid-palate focused with cocoa powder and chocolate-covered almond notes. Dry cocoa quality with nuttiness. Spice emerges in the middle without reaching the back of the palate. Drying effect mid-palate.
Finish
Medium-to-long finish with hot honey and spice cake notes. Strong Kentucky hug settling deep in the chest. Inviting finish that draws you back for more.
Excellent
A robust, oak-forward barrel proof with excellent mid-palate spice and chocolate notes that delivers a satisfying Kentucky punch.
