Elijah Craig 21-Year-Old Review



Bourbon: Elijah Craig 21-Year-Old Single Barrel, Heaven Hill Distilleries, Bardstown, Kentucky

Color: Medium to deep amber

Age: 21-years-old, bottled on 11-26-90

Proof: 45% ABV , 90 Proof

Nose:: The aroma that you’re greeted with when you step into a rickhouse. A “dustiness,” which is often a hallmark of a finely aged Bourbon. Nice prevalence of alcohol.

Taste: This Bourbon enters with buttery cooperage as though the Bourbon-infused particles of that pleasant dust and rickhouse atmosphere have been lacquered with a buttery concoction to create an elixir. Dry, spicy, a sweet touch with corn, hint of cinnamon candied walnuts.

Mid-palette to the end warms up.

Finish: Tangy and dry, fairly brief.
