Elijah Craig Barrel Proof C921
120.2 proof 12 years Bourbon Heaven Hill Bardstown, KY $65 78% corn, 12% malted barley, 10% rye

Deep oak with bakery shop character, walnut brownie notes, chocolate, raisin sweetness, hint of tobacco and older oak on the back end. Alcohol present but nose doesn't attack aggressively.

Buttery entry without immediate sting, fudge brownie with walnuts, dark chocolatey notes with slight bitterness, cinnamon gummy bears, cherry hints, baking spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice) with Christmas-time character.

Long, lingering finish that sticks with you and slows the sipper down. Deep Kentucky hug that kicks in strong and hangs for an extended period, like a preacher's sermon that never ends.

Really good
A rich, complex 12-year-old bourbon with a beautiful mahogany color, robust oak presence, and warming baking spice profile that makes it an ideal winter sipper, particularly at its fair retail price point.
