Elijah Craig Small Batch and The Importance of Visiting Distilleries in Twos
Manage episode 426222101 series 3579480
Elijah Craig's name echoes through the legends of bourbon, and some suggest he as the father of bourbon - in fact, they put that on the front of this bottle. For an easy-to-get bourbon (for Aussies), this is a great pour to enjoy. Uniquely, this bourbon spends between 8-12 years in the barrel which we think gives it some lovely complexity to those barrel-ey vanilla and oak notes, usually reserved for more premium pours.
