Elijah Craig 12 Year Old Bottling - 47% 70cl

Elijah Craig was named for a reverend who lived in Virginia where he kept a warehouse dedicated to storing barrels which unfortunately experienced a fire.

Out of that fire he managed to make the best of things as he used the charred casks regardless and found they imparted a lovely character.

This is a great 12 year old small batch bourbon, which has been named in his honour.

Aged to perfection and bottled at a higher strength of 47% Elijah Craig is rich oaky and round.

Nose: Sweet side with vanilla, caramel and brown sugar. Fruit also present. Good amount of oak and a little amount of leather on the backside.

Palate: A little spice at first with sweet notes moving in. Oak and barrel char round it out.

Finish: Dry finish with a hearty amount of oak. Medium length finish with spice that hangs in there until the end.
