Description
2023 Batch
Ready to experience some of the oldest Bourbon barrels in Kentucky? Our 18-Year-Old Bourbon is bottled solely from the contents of one barrel, not the mingling of many. This expression of Bourbon-making craftsmanship is bold and robust. Truly a Bourbon for the avid collector, this bottle has won countless awards and is regularly listed as a top choice by those who appreciate its smooth yet complex flavour.
Tasting Notes:
Colour: Warm, deep leather.
Aroma: Aged oak, spiced vanilla, with notes of mint and chocolate.
Taste: Richly textured nutty and semisweet, initial bursts of honey give way to toasted wood and pleasant char.
Finish: Lively and engaging, then lingers with vanilla and pepper.
“Elijah Craig 18 Year Old Single Barrel Bourbon is everything you could want from a high-aged Kentucky bourbon.” – Jordan Moskal, Breaking Bourbon (2023 Batch)
“The aged influenced flavor of oak doesn’t overpower and is beautifully complimented with barrel influenced notes of vanilla, caramel and a touch of honey graham cracker. The mouthfeel was, to my surprise, velvety and elegant especially for a 90 proof bourbon. I just loved ultra aged bourbon and it is something that cannot be duplicated with anything other than time in a barrel.” – Debonair Gentlemen (2023 Batch)
“The vanilla and caramel flavours are expected but charred oak plows through without overwhelming the whiskey’s delivery. It’s actually soft for an old bourbon. This slow sipper has a long finish that spikes midway with hard spices and a musty twang.” – Blair Phillips, Distiller
