Description
Barrel No. 7173199 comes from a single cask in Bardstown, Kentucky, bottled at full barrel proof — 64.55% ABV (129.1 proof) — in a 750 mL format. Elijah Craig's traditional mash bill of corn, rye and malted barley spent its maturation in Level 3 charred American oak, and because every bottle is drawn from this one barrel alone, the profile won't be repeated in another release. Uncut and unfiltered, it carries the flavor straight from the cask.
The nose leads with rich caramel and vanilla, followed by oak, toasted nuts and a smooth sweetness that lingers. Taken neat, the bourbon shows its full intensity; a few drops of water open up further layers of caramel, vanilla and spice. It also holds up well in a bold, oak-forward Old Fashioned.
