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.

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

Short, a bit hot. Pepper, honey, graham cracker, ethanol.

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.
