It’s so nice to see those double digits again! After years of whiskey shortages and six-to- eight year old samples, we’re finally back to TEN glorious years of time spent in wood with our latest cask strength, single barrel selection of Elijah Craig. You can really sense every bit of that extended aging, as well. The nose is denser, the palate is deeper, and the sweetness is far more pronounced. Let’s get into the nitty gritty!
There’s a big dose of vanilla and rock candy right off the bat with ample heat from the 120.4 proof. The rest of the whiskey evolves into a barrel char, fruit, and spice. Ice and/or water is highly recommended as some of the cinnamon and clove flavors are buried beneath that 60.2% ABV on the finish. You’ll want to unlock that maximum flavor with at least a few drops. This barrel was chosen directly at the Heaven Hill warehouse last year, so we had our pick of the litter. Ten years was a welcome sight on the label, so we didn’t waste much time locking it down.
One bottle limit per customer. Grab yours before they’re gone!
