Elijah Craig: 18

Taste: 5 Finish: 6 Visual: 4 Aroma: 3
Total: 18

Elijah Craig is a 12 year old, small batch bourbon whiskey. It claims to be the first small batch on the market.

The color is a nice amber. The aroma is of heavy alcohol. I don't get any undertones.

Bang! First sip is bold. Strong. Heavy. Spiced. I don't get any other flavors but "whiskey" and alcohol. The finish is also strong and lots of beefy exhale. I don't mean it's rough. But this is a powerful "saloon" style whiskey. It's definitely not a cheap bourbon. But, for the money, I'd expect to have a bit more flavor like honey or vanilla or oak or something.

A near miss in my book. I'd put this between Jim Beam and Jack Daniels. Not a high-end, world class bourbon.
