Handcrafted Bourbon Whiskey Custom Bottle Gifts WhiskeyGifter.com Elijah Craig 12 Yr.

Rare, balanced and beautiful!

Handcrafted Bourbon Whiskey Custom Bottle Gifts WhiskeyGifter.com How I ranked these head to head 1-4: (Transitioning between each pour individually, and completely through all stages before moving to the next. The use of tonic water to clear my palate respectively - something I highly recommend for any tasting or comparison of bourbons)  #1 -  Dovetail  124.16 Proof Fair Bottle Value: $65 (Current Retail Avg $80) Color: med dark honey Nose: sea salt, oak, caramel Palate: caramel, honey, vanilla Finish: med : oak, vanilla, cinnamon, salted caramel Rating: 4.5/5 Recommend: Yes : This is a purchase I don't think you will regret adding into your collection, even at the higher $80 current retail.

If you are a fan of Wild Turkey Rare Breed, you will really appreciate this offering! ------------------...

I say no, but only because of profile. This is an INCREDIBLE 12 Year bourbon that is typically obtainable at MSRP (or slightly over) in most markets. It is generally more available than Stagg Jr. For that reason, I call this a definite winner and well worth purchasing for any barrel proof enthusiast!   Notes:  Heaven Hill Distillery in Bardstown, Ky. creates an amazing, uncut, unfiltered barrel proof release in the ECBP series 3 times yearly. No collection should be without one of these releases each year IMHO. See below for the WHY...
