"Named after the Father of Bourbon, Reverend Elijah Craig this limited release Small Batch, twelve year old Bourbon is bottled at Barrel Proof and without chill filtering, preserving the natural flavors produced during the aging process. At full Barrel Proof, you can enjoy the Bourbon much the same way our Master Distiller does when he samples straight from the barrel or, if you choose, add water to reduce the proof to your liking. Color: Deep Amber Aroma: Caramel with oak, fruit notes of apple and orange Taste: Caramel, vanilla and butterscotch along with spices of black pepper and cinnamon in the back of the palate Finish: Nice layered finish of all flavors; fades slowly with a hint of cool spearmint at the most lingering end"
