After a pair of killer releases in 2021, can the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof collection hold the magic going with this primary launch for 2022?
Excellent news: EJBP Batch A122 is a stunning delight, with loads of trademark fruit and spice all through the expertise. Issues kick off with an fragrant punch of nutmeg and cloves, loads of barrel char, and a few well-toasted marshmallow components. Some darkish baking chocolate notes linger within the glass, giving it a sure interesting dryness.
The palate sees the whiskey’s fruitier components rapidly rising: pink apple, currants, some raisin notes, all well-impregnated with baking spice and extra of that toasty char. I get an (elevated) fruitcake character from the bourbon, caramel apple clinging to the tongue alongside extra char, darkish chocolate, and a few pink pepper. It’s a scorching whiskey, however one which retains a strong approachability all through, a mildly drying end being the one actual detractor.
All advised: A122 stands as one other strong launch from this in depth collection that I wouldn’t hesitate to advocate.
120.8 proof.
