Elijah Craig Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Elijah Craig Small Batch Kentucky
Bourbon Whiskey

I gave this one a taste the other day. I am going to have to try it again, maybe from a fresh bottle. I am not sure if it was due to being from a gift set, or that it was a sample bottle that I had opened a while back and had been left open, or that I had burned my mouth on some hot soup! Either way, I don't think I got the full flavor profile of this whiskey. That just means I have to go check out the new Total Wine that is opening near my office.

The sample bottle came from a Heaven Hill gift pack.

Overall, this was a good whiskey, despite the flavors not being fully appreciated.


Color: Copper

Nose: One the nose, there were sweet notes of fruit and vanilla.

Taste: There were sweet notes of vanilla, but not the usual spice that I typically pick up and appreciate in whiskey.

Finish: The finish was long and warming. It starts in the front and pushes it's way back and lingers to give a warm satisfying feeling.
