Our weekly gathering to enjoy spirts is once again upon us. This week I added a new bourbon "Elijah Craig" 18 year old single cask.
This is a lovely bourbon with notes of vanilla and honey. It has a big finish though. A bit of bite. Not as sweet as Black Maple hill, but definitely better than the Blanton's single cask. I find it hard to be objective about spirts. I love scotch but im partial to the big sweet flavors like MaCallan. I love big Cabernet's and dark strong beer. My somelier buddy claims it because my pallete sucks and i need these big flavors to get through to my taste buds.... this could be true. But hey its my mouth and I'm the one who decides whats gets put there. I think i'll be finishing off the Elijah Craig soon... and replacing it as well. I'm going for 3.5 star on it. Black Maple Hill still holds the coveted 5 spot though.
Stay tuned kiddies for more reviews... we still have to review the past weeks selections which include:
Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon
Black Maple Hill Bourbon
Tomintoul 16 year old scotch
Oban 14 year old scotch
Pyrate Rum
Ron Zacapa 23 year old rum (Damn this one is good)
