Elijah Craig 12 Year Old Bourbon

Description

FULL DESCRIPTION
Boldly named after the highly disputed inventor of bourbon whiskey, Reverend Elijah Craig who, as the story goes, was a skilled distiller that had his barrels damaged in a fire, leaving them heavily charred. Instead of throwing them out, Elijah decided to use them to store his whiskey in any way. Pleased with the character imparted by the charring of the barrels on his whiskey, it became a widely adopted process. If true, it’s a nice story to name delicious bourbon after. With a mashbill consisting of around 70-80% corn, the Elijah Craig 12 is bottled in small batches from less than 100 barrels at a time.

TASTING NOTES
Appearance: Rich caramel.
Nose: Honey and aromatic rock candy sweets.
Taste: Vanilla, salted caramels and a hint of spearmint freshness.
Finish: Charred oak and lingering vanilla.
Overall: A bourbon that invokes childhood memories of sweet shops.
