Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch B523, produced by Heaven Hill in Kentucky, is a bourbon bottled at 124.2 proof with a mashbill of 78% corn, 10% rye and 12% barley. Aged 11 years and 5 months, this release is the second of 2023 and is the first batch to drop the typical 12-year age statement found on previous Elijah Craig Barrel Proof releases.
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is consistently a fantastic Bourbon release and batch B523 is no exception. This tasting experience of this release starts off with an incredible nose that’ll have you begging for a taste.
Regardless of age, one has to ask... did they put crack in this release? It's incredible how much this one makes you want to keep sipping. If you can't tell by the fill level on this bottle (I had help), I've clearly been victimized by the deliciousness of this batch
