Elijah Craig 12 year old small batch bourbon is yet another winner from the Heavenhills family. On the nose it has notes of lavender and violets which merge into a cocktail of rye and oak. On the palate it has everything that you could possibly dream of: honey, rye weathered spice, toffee and oak. It is a balanced finish to this heady experience, it is all about contrast and subtlety, soft creamy toffee and soft spices. Described by Jim Murray as a world masterpiece, the kind of whiskey that makes you glad to be alive.
