Bold Flavor. Pure Pursuit. Now Pouring on SIPN
This bottle is a little temperamental feisty firecracker. Sometimes it treats me right and delivers a fruity flavorful experience but other times it burns me and has an attitude. Today this bottle was fighting me quite a bit. I get a fruitiness but also some grassiness almost like fruit that isn’t fully ripe yet.
On the palate I get some heat. I get quite a bit of heat. I understand this is a higher proof bourbon but the texture and finish is thin so I get a fireball and then nothing. Some days this bottle hits the spot but today I’m not feeling it.

Had to pick up some Rebel 100 in honor of the great Kyle Busch.
RIP Rowdy.

Thick mouthfeel, spice, dark fruits.

Elijah Craig barrel proof is usually a pretty good expression of barrel proof bourbons. High proof, high flavor, high heat, high octane.
Not for the faint of heart but definitely a good entry into barrel proof bourbons. Some releases are better than others for sure but I’ll always try to have one of these on my shelf.
