To sip Barrel Proof is to experience Bourbon in its purest form: uncut, straight from the barrel, and without chill filtering. Each bottle is hand labeled with its unique proof and batch number; but the nose, taste, and finish are pure Elijah Craig. Barrel Proof Bourbon is deep amber color, aroma of caramel with toasted oak, fruit notes of apple and orange, has taste of rich vanilla, caramel, and butterscotch along with spices of black pepper & cinnamon at the back of the palate. Finishing nicely layered showcasing all flavors, fades slowly then lingers as it cools.
