Elijah Craig 12 Year Old

Nose: thick and sweet, almost soapy but in a good way. Fresh-cut cedar but also woodsmoke. Very rich, mature aroma.

Taste: mouth-filling, spicy, sweet with quite a bit of heat. Very rounded, with lots of oak. A bit sour at the back of the tongue.

Finish: medium, unremarkable.

Balance: I'm no bourbon expert but this is one of the better ones I've tried. Twelve years in new oak have done this whiskey justice.
