Our Next Elijah Craig Barrel Pick Is Here 🥃

We've had a steady stream of heritage barrel picks lately, and today is no exception. You may remember April last year we introduced you all to the Seelbach's Heritage Collection. Since the beginning of the 2024 we've included a carefully chosen selection from some of the heritage distillers and blenders. Surprisingly (or maybe not so) , you all seem to really like the chance to find some of those releases all in one place! With that comes the opportunity for a few barrel picks of our own, and our Elijah Craig Barrel picks are always some of the most well received.  This time Dee selected this delicious 8-yr coming in at 123.6 proof. Our previous 11 year was more chocolate dessert bomb, whereas this one is more punchy and spice/oak-forward. Surprisingly this one drinks a bit older than 8 years with the tannins and the oaky, coffee notes. 
 
The nose is torched caramel, fragrant vanilla extract, cacao nibs, and hints of concentrated almond (think toasted orgeat).
 
The palate is rich, dark, and smokey. Freshly brewed dark roast, pops of cracked pepper spiciness mid-palate, and a delightful cherry & oak combo throughout the finish.
