Elijah Craig Barrel Proof B524
130.6 proof 11 years, 2 months Bourbon Elijah Craig Bardstown, KY $75 Standard Elijah Craig mash bill

The most oak-forward nose of the session with sweet oak, brown sugar, and leather notes without aggressive ethanol heat despite the high proof.

Intensely concentrated with toffee, peanut shell, rich caramel, and a pronounced amaretto-almond note. Coats the tongue with persistent flavor layering.

Long, lingering amaretto and almond character with robust oak backbone.

Top notch
A powerfully concentrated barrel proof that showcases masterful oak integration and nutty-sweet flavor complexity, though somewhat predictable in its intensity.
