Elijah Craig Small Batch 47%
Tasting Note
Spirit aged 8 – 12 years
Tasted: Apr 2018
A youthful and crisp nose of spicy grain and chunky sweet corn and oak. Lightly violety and although not as deep and complex as the old 12 year old, and obviously younger, it still displays the classic Elijah Craig intensity.
The palate opens with the youthful, spicy rye and subtler sweet corn and oak. Like the nose it is definitely younger, but still quite intense with a light, bitter chocolaty tannin middle, however the corn balances that bitterness well. Good, crisp, spicy, mouth-watering finish with just a smidge of toasted toffee corn in the after-taste.
