Decent if not spectacular. More of an investment than a drinking bottle for the low-life bottom feeders that engage in such a trade as it will no doubt be a limited edition and much sought-after bottle. Yes, I think a Heaven Hill aficionado would enjoy it quite a bit and it is worth trying if you can, but maybe not buying an entire bottle as it is pricey for what it is. Leave it to the speculators and shallow egotists and buy some of their more modestly priced releases for enjoyment.

I’m pretty sure if Parker Beam was still alive he would drink this – it’s that good.
Delicious, complex and smooth everything you might want for a great price.

A stunning achievement in both whiskey distilling and aging. While Parker Beam did not live to see this whiskey bottled I am sure he would be proud of it.

A drier, more amontillado sherry or old Bordeaux inspired expression of their excellent whisky.While it is not for everyone , it is very well done !

A touch more oily or buttery than the last few releases with pronounced Spanish cedar and oak notes to it.

Always a good solid bourbon. This batch seems a touch heavier on the nose in a nice way and delivers a full-bodied hearty bourbon at a modest price

Interesting, decent, but on the whole a bit too spare, lean, and a bit over the hill.

An excellent batch to kick off the new year! A touch higher proof than the last but very harmonious and some good depth to it.

Well done and complex. An easy-to-drink, smooth, and interesting without being a challenge. Nice enough to buy and cheap enough to be an everyday.
Great deal for $50 these days, beats out the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof at $20 more on value. Bothe however are some of the best buys in Bourbon currently.

A nice return to an old school bourbon style. This release is much closer to what bourbon used to be and it is nice to see Elijah Craig return to its roots
