Elijah Craig 12 Year Old Barrel Proof Batch #B522 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Like each previous version, B522 is non-chill filtered and uncut to preserve natural esters and taste components from barrel to barrel. Following batch A122 which was 120.8 proof, B522 is 121 proof. On the nose, this one is quite rich and effusive, with big impression of caramel, honey roasted peanuts, glazed donuts, citrus, vanilla frosting, clove spice and seasoned oak. On the palate, this is viscous and sweet up front, with heavy spice at the same time. Huge caramel and toffee impressions are met by simultaneous big oak, vanilla and a panoply of baking spice notes.
