I'm still pretty new to the bourbon game. Have always heard good things about Four Roses, but have never purchased a bottle until tonight. Excited to crack it open in a couple of days.
Great pour! 1st time ever having Stagg and it didn’t disappoint 👌🏾.
Review #25 Elijah Craig C925
Distillery: Elijah Craig (Heaven Hill)
ABV/Proof: 64.5/129
Age Statement: 9 years and 1 month
Mash Bill: 78% Corn 10% Rye 12% Malted Barley
At last, we’ve made it to the final batch of ECBP for the year. C925 has been a topic of discussion amongst many in the bourbon crowd, largely because it carries the youngest age statement to date.
Nose: Tobacco/oak forward, Mike Tyson proof punch, brown sugar, toffee and very subtle red fruit creep in.
Palate: I’ll start by saying this isn’t for everyone. Cinnamon/red hots massively lead the way, oak, subtle toffee, hint of red fruit with a sour note toward the end.
Finish: Continued cinnamon/red hots from the palate give a long lasting hug, brown sugar, and some more hints of red fruit.
I rate this 6.8 out of 10.
As I mentioned during the palate, this won’t be for everyone with how hot it drinks. Does this have some complexity? Yes, but it’s minimal compared to what other batches have had in the past. Regardless, we have found the next C series release that is sure to be a topic of discussion…. Just in a different way. Cheers🥃🥃

Cheers and good pouring all!

Finally got my hands on an Old Fitz 7 Year 🥃 😎
Vanilla and Cinnamon spice on the nose. Very robust flavor and very little ethanol. I also get a little Granny Smith apple as well. Like the kind for baking.
Nice bright burst of flavor like a gusher candy! Do get ethanol up front but it’s also paired with the vanilla and spice like from the nose. Good texture but great complex finish.

A little whiskey on a Monday never hurt anyone 😂
Found this on sale for $9.95 ($24.95 MSRP) at my local Spec's.
