To sip Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is to experience Bourbon in its purest form: uncut, straight from the barrel, and without chill filtering. Each bottle is labeled with its unique proof and batch number; but the nose, taste, and finish are pure Elijah Craig.
Deep amber in color, the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof opens up with aromas of caramel, toasted oak, and fruit notes of apple and orange. On the palate, a rich vanilla with caramel and butterscotch, along with black pepper and cinnamon. The finish is nicely layered, showcasing all the flavors, fading slowly and pleasantly.
Each batch of Barrel Proof contains an uncut selection of 12-year-old Bourbon bottled straight from the barrel. As a result, each batch varies by proof. The batch number on the label provides specific information about each batch. The first letter indicates the order of the release for that year, starting with "A.” The first number represents the month of the release. The third and fourth digits indicate the year.
