Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch No. B 521 118.2 Proof
Type: Barrel Proof Well done slightly more approachable off the shelf than some of the other releases and a good buy for the money.

Highly recommend this particular release as the pick of the litter for this year! Less oak and char notes and a touch sweeter.
Grab it if you can!
One of the drier expressions of the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Series
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
Gateway rye at best. Great for newbies of rye but too light in character to recommend to anyone else
One of the best bourbon deals out there for quality versus price.
Think of this as the Kyoto cold drip of vodka
Highly recommend this as a great bourbon and a great value for the money
While decent, this Vintage 2002 is very light in the taste and finish department. Not one of our favorite vintages.
Drier and woodier than previous vintages, giving you a rich oakiness similar to a much older bourbon without the cost.
Much heavier in all departments than former releases. Could almost believe it was a Scotch…
A more complex and fruitier Jack that is a bit more plush.
A very civilized Tennessee Whisk(e)y of wonderful complexity. Highly recommended!
This whisky also uses a higher proportion of corn than most bourbon, proprietary yeast strains and single story warehouses -all of which contribute to the uniqueness of the whisky.
See and taste how the it all begins at George Dickel – at ⅓ the price of the Jack Daniels equivalent white whiskey.
Cheaper and better than Jack.
The other Tennessee Whisk(e)y – much older, more muscular and flavorful than the other Tennessee Whisk(e)y .
Next time I break my leg skydiving or BASE jumping I want this instead of morphine.
Subtlety different from the 2004, but still wonderful
Somewhat fruitier on the nose and has a lot more rye punch and oak than last years version (2005)
The 2011 release is somewhat less fruitier on the noise and is generally a bit lighter in character despite one of the higher barrel proofs in a while.
A very nicely done Four Grain Whiskey especially for a whiskey so young and from such a small barrel. A real standout !
A well done and tasty whiskey made with sincerity, craft, and a good degree of skill.
A very solid New York State Empire Rye at a decent price- unlike a number of the others
A bit pricey for what it is.
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.
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.
A gin spice bomb with interesting interplay between the wood from barrel aging and their usual citrus forward gin profile veering it more towards a spicy melange.
A decent start that showed some hope.
An interesting and dangerously easy to drink young smoked whiskey.
