| Elijah Craig 12 Year Old Bourbon $$$$$$ |
Purchased: 750ml bottle bought at in Jewel-Osco in Chicago; 2015
Style/ABV: Bourbon, 47.0% (94 proof)
This is relevant to beer, I promise.
color - slick gold color, some particles are visible in the body, glossy legs
body - medium bodied, some thickness, not too boozy
aroma - vanilla, toffee, cinnamon spice and big brown sugar, this has nice woody character and barrel, sweeter citrus, and some musty character
taste - this brings a lot of oak, vanilla, and cinnamon/brown sugar; there's a cinnamon component, and some minty notes; the back end drops big cakey notes
finish - this has a nice finish, with those cakey notes, vanilla, and tons of sweetness. the finish lingers long enough, and this is yummy
The real question, however, is how will this whiskey compliment a beer? One that is a Strong Belgian Ale. Hmmm.....
