Elijah Craig Barrel Proof B520
~120+ proof 8-10 years Bourbon Heaven Hill Bardstown, KY

Deep butterscotch and caramel with subtle medicinal or varnish notes. Layered baking spice, sugar smacks cereal, and caramel sweetness.

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.

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.
