American Whiskey reviews

This bottle I purchased privately from a friend, then opened it when I conducted a professional tasting earlier in the fall. This batch was released in September 2017, directly following B517.The colour…

I recently picked this one up at the LCBO / Waddington's auction in November 2021. Like every Elijah Craig Barrel Proof, it is twelve years old; this one is Batch B517, which means it's the 2nd batch of…
