Elijah Craig has long been a favourite bourbon of many whiskey enthusiasts - to the point where their stocks of 12 year old bourbon have been under a lot of pressure. The producers made the decision to discontinue the 12 Year Old expression and create this expression to take its place. It manages to maintain the incredibly high quality that Elijah Craig is known for, including the delicious core of cooked apple drizzled in honey notes. This expression has been well received, taking home not one but two San Francisco World Spirits Competition Double Gold medals!
Honeycomb, fresh cedar, marmalade and some spicy cardamom seed.
Baked apples with a dusting of cinnamon, followed by fresh honey and cookie dough.
Lingering nutmeg and charred oak.

I like EC small batch. I’m not a whiskey snob but I’m not afraid to buy $100 bottles either. I don’t mix but I do run a full glass of ice and chase the melt. I know it’s wrong in the whiskey world but I do it to Blantons to. At $25 this is a damn good backyard BBQ, lake, hunting, fishing anytime bourbon. Save your money for trips, gear and guns.
Smooth.
So far on my bourbon experience I'd have to say this is one of the best! They say it's one of the smoothest bourbons and it is but not so smooth it takes away that nice whiskey finish.
I don't believe the proof. Sure I'm buzzed but I think the 800 mg of ibuprofen is helping. Going back to 100 proof Rye I miss the super-size finish. Too smooth sneaks up on you. Not much of a nose but good palate caramel apple flavor and all that stuff. Not trying to sell you this whiskey, but pretty good for the money. At least not obnxious like Redemption Rye.
Some people quite clearly think they're coniseurs. Taste is subjective. For me this is a smooth tasteful drink. For others, it may be dreadful. If you like smooth bourbon...get involved!
