Milk chocolate, dusty wood, brown sugar and beeswax.

This latest 18year old from Elijah Craig is nothing short of perfection. A riot of vanilla fudge, honey, and orchard fruits, especially cherry, explodes on the nose. This bourbon's aroma is a captivating whirlwind of complexity.
A very good bourbon, but not one of the better ones I have had from Heavenhill.. not worth the money..
I had a chance to visit and tour the factory where Elijah Craig produces their product. I was informed, that a fire had destroyed all of their supply of the 18 year old Elijah Craig. Simply put, there is no more,.... save the bottles currently held in stock.
