Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch A124 (75cl, 59.5%)

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch A124 is a bourbon from Heaven Hill and the first barrel proof release of 2024. It carries an age statement of 10 years and 9 months and is bottled uncut and non-chill-filtered at 119 proof, in a 75cl bottle. The batch code follows the brand's habit: A for the first release of the year, 1 for January and 24 for the year. The nose offers caramel, toasted oak, vanilla bean, baked apple and cinnamon, with a touch of dark chocolate and leather. The palate is warming, with brown sugar, butterscotch, black pepper, clove and toasted almonds. The finish is long, with baking spice, caramel and drying oak.
