Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.
Another limited-edition Elijah Craig on the heels of the sold out 2012 release of a 20-year-old single barrel version. Until this release, the only way to get a 21-year-old Elijah Craig — let alone a single barrel release — was to visit the Heaven Hill Bourbon Heritage Center in Bardstown, Kentucky.
The nose is classic Bourbon, rich with oak, leather, vanilla, and allspice notes. The taste reminds me of a smoky, tangy barbecue sauce with cilantro and chili powder spices that fade to reveal caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, and just a hint of maple. The finish is long and smooth with subtle spices and hints of brown sugar and caramel. (August, 2013)
