Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon (Batch A123) review: Heaven Hill's barrel proof banger returns with its strongest release of the last few years. bourbon whiskey cocktails
often enough that almost anything general I’d say about the product will simply be me repeating myself. Suffice to say, here’s the short, short version.
As for this release, its 62.8% ABV is actually the highest for the ECBP series in a few years—not since C920 has the series broken the 130 proof mark. This has been a topic of concern for some whiskey geeks and “proof hounds,” who have worried that proof points under 120 might become normal for the ECBP series after it first dipped below that mark in 2021.
On the nose, the A123 batch presents up front with big, rich molasses notes that suggest deeply caramelized sugars, along with fudge-like chocolate and distinctly wet oak, like a rickhouse after a thunderstorm. I’m getting vanilla cream as well, along with hints of peanut funk and dark fruit jam. After sitting in the glass for a while, there’s a distinct honey note coming out as well. Surprisingly, for the pretty elevated proof, I’m not getting a whole lot of ethanol sting on the nose.
