Intro:
This is a single barrel selection from Heaven Hill by a store/society electing to pick something from the Elijah Craig line of bottlings. Let's dive in.

Nose:
Sweet toffee, rich tobacco, lots of graham cracker, vanilla. Faint pepper. All sweet, dough forward.

Taste:
Thin to medium mouth feel. Some heat. Apples, pears, vanilla, honey, lots of graham cracker.
-
Finish:
Short, a bit hot. Pepper, honey, graham cracker, ethanol.
-
Overall:
The nose is intoxicating, the palate is good, but the finish is a big disappointment. I know the potential is there with these, but I think this falls short.
