In late 2013, Heaven Hill surprised everyone with an uncut, unfiltered version of their 12 year flagship bourbon, Elijah Craig. Known as Elijah Craig Barrel Proof (or more commonly "ECBP"), this bourbon packs a full body and flavor. Lucky for us, Heaven Hill releases ECPB several times a year at a unique proof. Details:
-12 years old
-128 proof, release #7
-Price: $45
Nose: Boston cream donut. Creamy vanilla, ovaltine, and toasted oak. Fruit notes of apple and plum.
Taste: A mix of vanilla and coffee ice cream. Sweetness continues with deep notes of brown sugar along with spices of cinnamon, black pepper, and tobacco.
Finish: Long with a playful heat. Sweet vanilla fades slowly with spice and tobacco.
Conclusion: Believe it or not, this is the lowest proof release to date. That being said, it's full of flavor and has a deliciously thick mouthfeel. ECPB is proof that great bourbon doesn't have to come at a high price!
My Rating: A (Great)
