To sip Barrel Proof is to experience Bourbon in its purest form: uncut, straight from the barrel, and without chill filtering. Each bottle is hand labeled with its unique proof and batch number; but the nose, taste, and finish are pure Elijah Craig.

• NOSE: 

  Bold caramel, cocoa, cherry cola, root beer, peanut brittle, rich oak and tons of sweetness. Rich and layered, plenty of oak in the best way. Whew.

• TASTE: 

  Rich on the palate, viscous and powerful. Lots of cocoa, honey, toffee, red berries, cherry cola and a dash of caramel character. Impressive and varied, complex and layered. Tons going on. The proof, while the highest in a while, isn't punchy or aggressive.

• FINISH: 

  Long finish that's heavy on sweet dessert, with toffee, caramel, cherry cola, a dash of root beer and heavy nutmeg, turtle candies and sweet oak.

• OVERALL: 

  Lovely and rich, powerful and layered, possibly the best Elijah Craig Barrel Proof ever. Unreal, full of life and character, a testament to the naysayers that Heaven Hill has at least one trick up their sleeves: this release. More to come? We can only hope.
