“Elijah Craig 18 Year Old Single Barrel Bourbon is everything you could want from a high-aged Kentucky bourbon.” – Jordan Moskal, Breaking Bourbon

“The aged influenced flavor of oak doesnt overpower and is beautifully complimented with barrel influenced notes of vanilla, caramel and a touch of honey graham cracker. The mouthfeel was, to my surprise, velvety and elegant especially for a 90 proof bourbon. I just loved ultra aged bourbon and it is something that cannot be duplicated with anything other than time in a barrel.” – Debonair Gentlemen

“The vanilla and caramel flavoursare expected but charred oak plows through without overwhelming the whiskeys delivery. Its actually soft for an old bourbon. This slow sipper has a long finish that spikes midway with hard spices and a musty twang.” – Blair Phillips, Distiller (92 Points)

“It tastes almost like an Old Fashioned, meaning distinct orange peel and cherry notes intertwined with the vanilla and caramel. The long finish offers vanilla, oak and orange peel.” – Kara Newman, Wine Enthusiast (95 Points)

“Well-rounded, with lovely caramel, creamy vanilla, toasted oak, nougat, and candied fruit, along with a peppering of cinnamon and subtle mint. Pleasant, lingering finish. Great structure with seamless flavors.” – John Hansell, Whisky Advocate (92 Points)
