Each release of Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is an undiluted small batch of their standard 12 year old bourbon, bottled straight from the barrel. This batch was bottled at cask strength of 66.7%. 

The variance in alcohol from batch to batch presents a great opportunity to explore the impact of the angel's share. The first letter of the batch number indicates which of that year's releases the bottle was a part of, starting with "A", while the second digit is a number that determines the month of the year the bottle was released. The third and fourth digits indicate the year.

Nose: Caramel with toasted oak, fruit notes of apple and orange.

Palate: Rich vanilla, caramel, and butterscotch along with spices of black pepper & cinnamon at the back of the palate.

Finish: Nicely layered showcasing all flavours, fades slowly then lingers as it cools.
