Drink the bottle labeled "9." Leave your tasting notes in the comments.
To sip Barrel Proof is to experience Bourbon in its purest form: uncut, straight from the barrel, and without chill filtering. Each bottle is hand labeled with its unique proof and batch number; but the nose, taste, and finish are pure Elijah Craig.

This was more like what I’m used to in a bourbon that I would buy for a typical Monday afternoon. A bit harsh and a nice burn. Very comforting
ReplyDeleteHarsh at first but enough flavor to back it up. Love the long warm finish. It’s good, 3.
ReplyDeleteColor: dark amber
ReplyDeleteNose: lots of oak, vanilla, good spice, some dried cherry
Taste: high proof, but great flavors - more oak, baking spice,
Finish: long, but the proof is a little intense
I love the aroma and flavors, but barrel strength is a little stronger than I can handle.
Oaky, spicy smell and that followed through with the taste. Definitely some harshness and felt it on the finish, which had a nice spicy kick to it. Pretty good.
ReplyDeletePowerful, and a bit over the top. Not bad, but a bit too much
ReplyDeleteReally nice flavors, but overpowered by a harsh burn. Nice finish.
