Specific Batch Reviews:

“Rich on the palate, A124 is lighter on oak and cola than previous releases with a bump up on sweet desserts, caramels, toffee and tobacco.” – Whiskey Raiders (95 Points)

“The youngest and second lowest proof Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch released to date, Elijah Craig 10 Year Old Barrel Proof Batch A124 offers a rich, delicious flavor profile proving that a lower age and proof doesn’t necessarily equate to a subpar pour.” – Nick Beiter, Breaking Bourbon

“The nose is an enticing mix of fresh, dark cherry aromas with vanilla, allspice, and a hint of leather. The palate is rich and roasty, with flavors of roasted peanuts and buttery caramel. A refreshing burst of tart cherry flavor breaks up the richness on the midpalate, while peppery and sweet spices wake up the sides of the mouth. As expected with the proof, it is slightly hot in the finish with a pervasive charred oakiness, though it retains its richness on the palate.” – Amanda Schuster, Distiller (91 Points)

“The first of three annual batches. Aged oak, leather, chocolate, and lively cherries on the nose. A big, robust whiskey, chewy and thick, with dark chocolate and caramel flavors. Water or ice will tame it, unlocking more of those integrated flavors, accented by orange and berries, baking spice, tart herbs, and pepper. Generous marshmallow, chocolate, caramel, and mellow oak on a very long finish.” – David Fleming, Whisky Advocate (93 Points)
